Barry Amateur Radio Society ( BARS )  - Located in South Wales -UK  usually operates from its club station at his time of the year using our call signs and extend seasons greetings from Wales to other operators and families throughout the world.

Sadly due to the lock down and restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 virus we are unable to gain access to operate from our club station.

Fortunately we have had confirmed that our club members can operate using the call CC4BRS/A  ( ie A is alternative )

from their own QTH and the rules being adhered to.

During the period Sunday 20th December  - Saturday 25th December 2012  two of the club members plan to operate

via radio amateur satellites. With the success and coverage of QO-100 this will be the prime operation and we hopefully

can extend our greetings to many other operators.

Ken ( GW1FKY ) will operate using the allocated call GC4BRS/A  from his QTH in South Wales -  grid locator  IO81EM

Bernard ( (MW0GBW )  will also operate the club call from his QTH -grid locator IO81JK  but not at the same time of course unless he can perhaps operate in digital mode.

To keep things simple an exchange of confirmation of call sign - name - signal report and grid locator will make it easier

in the event of multiple operators calling on the operating frequency. 

QSL Manager for the event is Glyn Jones ( GW0ANA )

Seasons Greetings and "STAY SAFE"
