The opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are over but the Chinese Amateur Radio Special Event stations celebrating the Olympics are still on-the-air. They will continue for another month ...until Wednesday, September 17.The five special calls representing the five rings of the Olympic flag, are BT1OB, BT1OJ, BT1OH, BT1OY and BT1ON. The last letter of the call sign corresponds to the color of each of the rings of the Olympic flag - Beibei (Blue), Jingjing (Black), Huanhuan (Red), Yingying (Yellow) and Nini (Green). The theme of the 2008 Olympics is "One world one dream".
The stations are operating on all HF bands: 10 through 160 meters, both CW and SSB. Pictured is Gary H Whitman, W2VQ, of Pine Brook, NJ operating BT1ON on August 6. Zheng Feng, BA4EG, 552-39-502 Zao Zhuang Lu, Shanghai 200136, China, will be the QSL manager for all stations. QSLs can be sent either direct or via the bureau and will begin to be answered in October.
Their website includes an on-line log search and an online QSL sent/received search which lists all QSOs/QSLs for each of the five stations along with the band worked.
