Yes (e.g. Will this ham QSL by Postal Mail?) Apply for a new Vanity callsign...

I may be active with this call during the period 9th - 29th May 2013 from Matavera, Rarotonga.

This will be a holiday style operation, CW only, running my K3 barefoot.

Note, I am a member of the First Class CW Operator's Club, which is currently celebrating its' 75th anniversary during May. A QSO with an "FOC" suffixed call will give you extra points for the award commemorating this event. See www.g4foc.org for details.

My "normal" Cook islands call is E51AGY, which I may also be using.

Hoping to see you on the bands.

73,

Tony.

First Class CW Operators’ Club 75^thAnniversary On-Air Celebration

To commemorate our 75^th anniversary in May FOC is holding a month-long on-air event featuring more than 60 special FOC-suffix calls.  These will include GB75FOC, a special anniversary call for our club station.  (GC4FOC will be used when operating from Wales, GH4FOC from Jersey,  GN4FOC from Northern Ireland, GP4FOC from Guernsey, GS4FOC from Scotland, and GT4FOC from Isle of Man).  A list of who is on the key of each special UK call each day can be found here. There will be many other FOC calls on the air all month from outside the UK, including some exotic locations such as 4X, 5B, 5T, 7Q, A6, HZ, KH6, V3 and VQ9.

Stations will gain points for contacting any FOC member and a beautiful certificate will be presented to stations who reach certain point levels.  

15 points = Bronze, 

30 points = Silver, 

50 points = Gold.

QSO with an FOC member = 1 point

QSO with an FOC member lasting 10 minutes or longer = 3 points

QSO with an FOC suffix station (or M0RSE) = 5 points

QSO with GB75FOC, GC4FOC, GH4FOC, GN4FOC, GP4FOC, GS4FOC or GT4FOC = 10 points

One QSO is allowed per station per band. All bands are allowed but QSOs must be CW, of course.

Listen for FOC members calling “CQ FOC 75.”  A list of current members can be found on this web site in the “About FOC” section.

Electronic logs for the FOC 75^th Anniversary Award should be submitted to: foc.75years@gmail.com. (Members need only send claimed point totals).

QSLs for GB75FOC, GC4FOC, GH4FOC, GN4FOC, GP4FOC, GS4FOC, GT4FOC and M0RSE should be sent to G3SWH: www.g3swh.org.uk.  Check www.qrz.com pages for QSL information about other "FOC" calls.

Here is a scoresheet, created by G5LP, to help track your FOC75 points.
