VE100VIMY Commemorates Battle Centennial

VE100VIMY Celebrates Canada


In 2017 Canada will be celebrating its 150 years as a nation. Canada’s identity as a nation was shaped by its success in the World War One Battle of Vimy Ridge fought April 9–12, 1917. For Radio Amateurs, VE100VIMY will commemorate the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The VE100VIMY special event call sign will be active for more than three months culminating in 24/7 operation April 1–9 from the actual Battle site in Vimy, France.


From January 1, 2017 until January 7 look for VE100VIMY/VE1 and VE100VIMY/VY2. After that, a different Canadian call area will be activated each week. You may find the complete schedule at ve100vimy.ca. Certificate, award and QSL information is also at ve100vimy.ca.


QSO VE100VIMY often and celebrate with Canada and Canadian Amateurs!
