[MRCG] Enigma Award

[Craig VonIlten]

ENIGMA AWARD

Now and through the end of the month of August, radio amateurs around the world are being asked to help honor a Polish code-breaker and mathematician whose work contributed to the later success of British cryptanalysts' work during World War II. The Polish Amateur Radio Union has organized "Enigma Award" special event stations throughout Poland, honoring mathematician Marian Rejewski on the 110th anniversary of his birth. Rejewski was among the Polish code-breakers to work on the German Enigma codes before the war broke out.

Special event stations will operate on all bands between 80 and 10 meters, using CW, phone and all digital modes. The stations will be using one of five special call signs, and each radio operator having a QSO with one of these stations will receive a cryptogram to decode, honoring the spirit of Rejewski’s work and that of his team. For details and a list of the call signs, visit the website enigmaaward.eu

Prizes will be given for the best operators as well as the best SWLs.
