Special longwave 147.3 kHz.

SW event with national weather sce stn DDH47 - DL0SWA.

During the night from 8th to 9th November 2002, the National Weather Service
of Germany, Deutscher Wetterdienst is going to celebrate it's 50th
anniversary. A special crossband event will take place between amateur radio
stns and weather sce longwave tx DDH47 on 147.3 kHz from 2230 until 0530
UTC.

Amateur radio stns are encouraged to call DL0SWA/DDH47 on 3565, 7025 or
14052 kHz according to annt made by txions from DDH47. The crew of DL0SWA
(Seewetteramt) listens for calls on mentioned HF freqs and replies on
longwave 147.3 kHz and SW (7025, 1 watt).

Please give rapport for DDH47 at your place and your locator only. Your
rapport is used to calculate reception diagrams. During the former silence
periods in maritime sce, twice an hour from h+15 to h+18 and h+45 to h+48
mins the tx will be keyed with the names of famouse scientists in ultra slow
keying. Expect one dot in 3 seconds. This special txion is for long distance
reception for proof of recognition. The crew of DL0SWA is hopefully to get
reports from America!

All weather sces of the world benefitted from the invention of wireless.
>From this time on weather reports could be taken from far away places and be
submitted to the sce just in time. After analysing the weather situation,
forecast could be made and being sent back to shipping by famous stns like
Washington/NSS, Portishead/GKB and Pinneberg/DDH47.

On 11th November 1952 the national weather sce of Germany, Deutscher
Wetterdienst was founded as a national authority. This crossband event is
conducted to celebrate it's 50th anniversary of sce. QSL cards are printed
and distributed after the event via DARC Bureau.

The crew is asking for fair play in calling us, so that more distant stns
got the same chance to be heard as close ones. This event has been given
approval by the national radio authority, Regulierungsbehoerde fuer
Telecommunikation und Post and comes to you by courtesy of Deutscher
Wetterdienst. Webinfo:
