CQ TO CELEBRATE 60TH ANNIVERSARY ON-AIR WITH "CQ GANG" EVENT
 
            (Hicksville, New York) -- CQ Amateur Radio magazine is inviting amateur radio operators around the world to join in its 60th anniversary by taking part in an on-air celebration during the first 60 days of 2005. CQ's first issue was published in January, 1945.
            During the "CQ Gang" activity, from January 1 to March 1, 2005, any ham who has ever had an association with CQ magazine -- as a staff member, contributing editor, author, etc. -- as well as current subscribers to CQ, CQ VHF and Popular Communications magazines may sign "/60" after his or her callsign. Certificates will be issued for contacts with enough "/60" stations to garner a minimum of 60 contact points, based on number of contacts times the number of different position multipliers (e.g., editor, columnist, etc.) worked. Shortwave listeners may also qualify by monitoring enough contacts for a minimum of 60 contact points. Endorsements will be issued for scores up to 600 points.
            In addition, CQ club station WW2CQ will be activated from various parts of the United States during the event period. A separate certificate will be available for working WW2CQ in all call areas from which it is active. Details on that portion of the activity will be released later.
            Complete rules for the CQ Gang 60th Anniversary activity are in the December, 2004 issue of CQ magazine, and by going to the magazine's website at <http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com > and clicking the link at the bottom of the home page.
