On Sunday July 1st 2012, the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee will be celebrating the Flag Bearing of the Puerto Rico Delegation to the Summer Olympic Games in London. This event marks the beginning of the transatlantic journey to represent Puerto Rico in this international event. The delegation will depart the Olympic Committee and will walk to the Governor’s Mansion to receive the flag that will be used in the opening ceremony and remain hoisted in the Olympic Village throughout the Games in London.

In celebration of such an important event, The Puerto Rico Amateur Radio League will be joining the Olympic Committee in this celebration by setting up a special event station from the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee headquarters in San Juan. We will be using the special callsign “K4O” for this event.

We would like to use our radiowaves to let the world know that the Puerto Rican delegation is ready for the games in London. Operation will be on June 30 (9:00am-5:00pm) and July 1 (9:00am-2:00pm) from the headquartes of the Puerto Rico Opympic Comitte in San Juan.

To my beautiful island and people this makes me both extremely proud and happy to read. I'm looking forward to hearing the special event on as many bands possible and work. As well as watching us take on anyone and laying the smack down. From a sportsmenship point of view of course.

Congrats Puerto Rico!
