[Novice-Rigs] "CG3XZ" & The 1929 QSO Party

[EP Swynar]

Good Day Everyone,

"Industry Canada" --- the licensing authority here in Canada --- is allowing us otherwise lowly "VE3"-types the privilege of utilizing the special prefix "CG3" from 1st December 2006, to 31st January 2007, inclusive, in commemoration of Canadian Reginald Aubrey Fessenden's historic voice broadcast on Christmas Eve, 1906...

To that end, it is my intention to sign as "CG3XZ" on the occasion of the upcoming two weekends of the Antique Wireless Association's annual "Bruce Kelley Memorial 1929 QSO Party", which will be held on December 2-3, and December 9-10 (starts at 2300 GMT the first day, ends at 2300 GMT on the second).

Please have a listen for my push-pull 1923-style 203A / 211 self-excited Colpitts oscillator / transmitter, from about 3550-3580KHz, & 7030-7050 KHz...between my rather "...distinctive" signal quality(!), & the unique callsign, I shouldn't be TOO hard to miss! Hi Hi.

I hope to work you soon...

~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ (a.k.a. CG3XZ)
