Please note ZG2FK is the same station and operator as ZB2FK.
The ZG prefix is used by ZB2 / ZB3 operators to celebrate National Day Week National Day is on the 10th September .
Gibraltar`s National Day celebrations were started back in 1992 in order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum (10th September) which gave us the right to remain British and the right to our birth place where past generations have lived since 1704. It also gave us a freely elected Gibraltarian government / parliament to govern our internal affairs with autonomy. During the late 90s the special prefix ZG was authorized to be used by ZB2 / ZB3s so we could join in the National Day Celebrations in our unique way, sporting a special prefix for the occasion. It is poignant that this year 2017 we celebrate our 50th Referendum anniversary.
Hope this short explanation on the origins of this annual ZG activation has been of some interest. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DO NOT HESITATE IN WRITING ME AN E MAIL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
