First Class CW Operators’ Club 75th Anniversary On-Air Celebration
Founded in May of 1938, the First Class CW Operators' Club (FOC) promotes good CW operating, activity, friendship and socialising via its worldwide membership of approximately 500. Members are active on all HF bands and the character of the club is best expressed in its motto: "A man should keep his friendship in constant repair" - Samuel Johnson (1755)
To commemorate our 75th anniversary FOC is holding a month-long on-air event featuring many special “FOC” suffix calls in May of 2013. These will include GB75FOC, a special anniversary call for our club station. (GP4FOC will be used when operating from Guernsey, GS4FOC from Scotland and GT4FOC from Isle of Mab). There will be many other FOC calls from the USA and VE and from more exotic locations such as 5T, HZ1, 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 MØRSE) = 5 points
QSO with GB75FOC, 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 also be found on this web site in the “About FOC” section.
