Special Event Station will be on the air on July 11-12-13-14-15 , 2007 to celebrate the 25 th Anniversary of the foundation of Coast Guard in Turkiye. http://www.sgk.tsk.mil.tr/ Operation was mainly on 7-14-18 MHz. In the beginning the station was on the shore, just besides the Coast Guard vessels. However, due to QRM caused by a transformer nearby, we had to move inland, to the garden of the Coast Guard Regional HQ. 2m SSB operation ;therefore was not successful due to location. TA1FR - TA1HZ - TA2RX worked as the operators. During IARU HF Championship weekend, contact with 27 HQ stations were successful.Altogether 490 QSO's on 4 bands were logged. First 25 direct QSL's will be replied with Turkish PTT's Special stamp for this occasion http://www.ptt.gov.tr/tr/pul/show/html/07-10.html .

Due to sked requests, we will be working with this callsign once more, between August 27 and 31,2007. Operation will be on 7MHz, 14MHz and 18MHz, SSB.

Special thanks to TA2DJ Erhan for his great work on QSL cards.All of the cards are been now sent out to country QSL Bureaus. Unfortunately local TA QSL Bureau outgoing services are quite slow and we have to send our own mail out. We thank all of you for your patience.
