The Radio Amateur Society is pleased to announce that 2x1 contest callsigns are now a reality. The Regulator’s outsourcing partner, the Australian Maritime College commenced the release of these sought after callsigns on 13 October 2021. At present, about 152 callsigns have been applied for and we are hopeful the contesting world will start hearing these new callsigns in the CQ WW Contest, maybe even sooner. Of particular note are two new prefixes, VJ and VL which will add to multipliers and no doubt be of great interest to contesters. These new callsigns are the result of over two years of lobbying by the Radio Amateur Society of Australia, with assistance of a cross sector committee made up of RASA, WIA and VKCC members.
