ACMA approve 2 x 1 contest callsigns 30/07/2020 rasaorg ACMA have approved the issue of 2 x 1 contest callsigns with VJ, VK and VL prefixes. These callsigns are available for Advanced class amateurs and club stations, for contest operation only. There is a limit of one callsign per licencee and one per club. The 2 x 1 contest callsign structure was originally developed by a cross sector committee convened by RASA. After a suggestion by AMC, ACMA has extended this structure to two new prefixes; VJ and VL. This allows 2 x 1 callsigns to be available to many more amateurs. A link to the new callsign template and FAQ: https://www.amc.edu.au/industry/amateur-radio/callsigns/new-callsign-template-and-faqs
Congratulations, mates! That ought to make a lot of you Down Under happy! 73, Jeff (looking forward to the fall dx season contests)
