Multi operators will be accepted too (ex 14IR001/MULTI/HB20).

The event will take place from March 13th 0:00UTC, to December 31st 24:00UTC.

We will print a special QSL for the event (sent by manager 14IR017) and, also, the most successful /HB20 Activators and /HB20 Hunters will get an Award (HQ will offer an Award for the 5 first HB20 Activators who will make the maximum of QSO and 5 first Hunters of HB20 Stations)

HB20 Reminder

Posted on 18/06/2014 by Webmaster

International Radio /HB20 – Happy Birthday 20 event

Reminder: the rule for this event is simple : spend 2014 working /HB20 stations, and then, when the year is over, send me your LOG via mail or email. We will sort out the logs and see who have been the more lucky hunters and activators. Also, we will publish a 3-fold QSL to confirm the QSO made (checkbox).

Because of the demand and to please everyone, for some stations like 79IR101/HB20, or 76IR101/HB20, or 14IR000/HB20 for example, a special QSL can be obtained. But pay attention to send your QSL request to the right QSL manager.

I'm (14IR017) NOT managing 79IR (via Adrian) , or 188IR (via Didier) or 47IR149/HB20 (via homecall) for example. So please do NOT send cards for them, because it makes a lot of work to sort it out and resend it at my own expense to the right person.

73 de 14IR017 Reg – HB20 manager

Rappel : la règle du HB20 IR-DX est simple: au cours de l'année 2014, contactez autant de stations /HB20 que possible et, en 2015, envoyez moi vos LOG par courrier ou courriel.
Nous ferons le tri afin d'avoir le classement des meilleurs activateurs et des meilleurs chasseurs. Une QSL trois volets avec cases à cocher sera imprimée pour confirmer les QSL.

Pour faire plaisir à tout le monde, certaines stations proposent tout de même la possibilité de confirmer le QSO avec leur QSL propre, comme par exemple 79IR101, 76IR101/HB20, ou encore 14IR000/HB20.
Mais s'il vous plait, veillez à envoyer vos QSL au bon manager.

Je (14IR017) ne manage pas, par exemple 79IR(via Adrian106), 188IR (via Didier001) ou encore 47IR149/HB20 (direct).
Merci donc de ne pas m'envoyer de cartes qui ne me concernent pas, car ça fait énormément de boulot et ça me coûte cher de renvoyer tout ça aux bonnes personnes.

Exemple: je reçois une enveloppe pour X, Y et Z, avec deux dollars et 1 enveloppe self adressée, problème : X est pour moi, mais Y et Z pour d'autres managers, donc je dois recopier deux enveloppes, voir comment faire avec la contrib, renvoyer ça aux managers concernés etc.
