> FIFA (Soccer/Futbol) World Cup - special callsigns
> ______________________________________________________________________
>
> Organizers of the related ham events for this say it is a radio
> marathon dedicated to the World Cup in Russia. They are inviting
> country members of the FIFA international organization to get
> special callsigns and join in on the air. They recommend "FWC"
> callsign suffixes. Russia itself will have 32 special callsigns
> with the R18 prefix and a suffix to honor participating countries.
> Examples, R18ARG to honor Argentina, R18SWE for Sweden, etc. Eleven
> callsigns will represent the cities where the matches are held,
> such as RC18KA for Kaliningrad, RC18SO for Sochi, etc. Two
> headquarters callsigns will be R18HQ and R18FWC. These special
> callsigns from Russia will be on the air June 14-15. With any
> questions and "coordination," contact ua6yw at mail.ru. It is also
> suggested that in the US some serious soccer fans may want to get
> 1X1 callsigns to be part of this.

> as WN6CMX upgraded in 1970 to WA6CMX and eventually changed his call
> to N6BK in 1979. In 1998 he retired and moved to Thailand where he
> eventually built his contest station "in the middle of large rice
