This activation that will be held under the patronage of the Ministry of Territory and Environment and the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, will take place in conjunction with a civil protection exercise on September 17thand 18thfor 24 hours. The Three Towers Award is issued in two categories. The Three Towers Award (Standard) is issued to an amateur radio station submitting proof of contact with all the 3 towers on 2 bands. The Three Towers Award Honor Roll is issued to an amateur radio station submitting proof of contact with all the three towers on three bands. http://dxnews.com/three-towers-award-sanmarino/
Sounds like a great award and hopefully conditions will favor propagation outside of Europe. Having gone to the top of the castle (and gotten a souvenir visa stamp at the tourist office) I'll just say that San Marino is a lovely little country and worth a visit. Amateur radio is certainly one way to make it better known to the world.
Just a tiny bit misleading when written about in brevity ... so to clarify for all non-San Marino citizens, the "3 towers" are stone towers, not radio towers.
Correct, not Radio Towers, more similar to Castles indeed... Here is a picture on how the looks like : https://vacanzegabicce.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/storia2big.jpg 73.
