 To celebrate the World Radio Day and the International Marconi Day the G.R.I. ALFA TANGO will be on air with several Special Stations:

2026's Dates: World Radio Day 2026: 13/14/15 February 2026 International Marconi Day 2026: 25/26 April 2026

UNESCO W.R.D. Official Date: February, 13 - 2026

Guglielmo Marconi Birthday: April, 25 - 2026

The official dates are the ones you see. We are on air for two or three consecutive days per session to allow everyone to make QSO with us! The days before or after the official dates can be considered as "pre-party" and "after-party".

Checking Propagation

Most likely in the future the duration and flow of the event will decrease to gradually descend towards solar minimum. 

We can't imagine a world without radio!

This is not a contest.  There are no rankings or special prizes. The special stations will operate and answer to all the hunters worldwide in honor of the Radio and in memory of its inventor Guglielmo Marconi.

Participation: The event is open to all 11m operators and for the hunters prior registration is not required. 

Duration
The special event will take place:

Band and bandplan:
Activity must take place on 11m band. The section of the band between .500 and .600 included (so called DX part) cannot be used for QSO. In fact, our special stations will operate on the basis of this bandplan. Participants are encouraged to comply with current legislation regarding the use of their equipment and the allocated band.
 
Scoring:
Hunters can only make QSO with special stations once.

Exchange and Validity of contacts:
There is no serial number system (no progressive numbers).
Just 59 or 599, in the log.
 
The validity of the QSO will be verified by our softwares. There is no need for hunters to submit their log: QSO will be confirmed based on the special stations logs.

Certificate download:
All hunters can dowload their participation certificate (full color award A4) by 1AT074 Max from the AT Portal. ( check for Certificate download and all possible data: https://www.athq.org/wrd/  -  https://www.athq.org/imd/ )
