GB0ANT
WAP - Ø72
7th Antarctic Activity Week
15th February - 28th February 2010
Thinking on how to improve the Worldwide interest around Antarctic Continent and its related matters, WAP (World Antarctic Programme) was born.
What to do to achieve better results? The idea to launch an Antarctica Week Activity began to be celebrated every year on  the last week of February, and in any case the week should incorporate the 22nd of February, where the Argentines are celebrating the 'Dia de la Antartida Argentina' (Argentine’s Antarctica Day).
This invitation IS open to all Radio Amateurs around the world, to the Clubs and Organizations who would like to join us, and share with us this initiative.
Lets me try to explain further....We are looking for Special Prefixes promoting Antarctica such as for example GB0ANT, IR8ANT, IR2ANT, TM…ANT, DL…ANT, UA2004ANT, ZX…ANT, KK…ANT, VK….ANT, VX…ANT and so on. In other words, a kind of Special Prefix from each Country with the suffix ANT.
Stations from Antarctica can join us and working as many Hams as possible. Club stations of the Antarctic Institutes, as well as Antarctic Organizations (such as LU2CN Servicio Auxiliar de la Armada who care the
Antarctic matters in Argentina, or IY0A in Italy, or any eventual other of such stations), can join the Antarctica Activity Week. Again our intention is to draw your attention on The Antarctic Continent, to understand what the Nations are doing to protect this corner of the world still non contaminated, to share a message of peace among the World.
Antarctic Activity Week coming soon.......
The 7th AAW is set to arrive pretty soon with dates scheduled for the event between 15th February to 5th March 2010.  The event this Years is set to be as good if not better than previous Years with many more stations advising the team of their intended participation. WAP (World Antarctic Programme) is the main body that coordinates all activity as well as being the focus of attention as regards the Awards program.
The only UK station to participate is 'GBØANT' in 'WAP-Ø72' and this station will be qrv from the 15th February until 7th March inclusive on SSB, CW and Digital Modes.
