International HEMA Day

'HEMA' is an interesting alternative to SOTA and is now 10 years old. Having been exclusively a UK and Eire only programme for many years; recently it has branched out and engaged other DXCCs around the world. It’s now active amongst our friends in Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, and large parts of Australia.

To celebrate this new international flavour and the 10-year anniversary, we announce “International HEMA Day 2022” on Saturday 2nd April 2022.

The operating period can be any time during that day (UTC) and there will be attractive certificates for those successfully taking part. Any station working at least one HEMA activator will receive a commemorative certificate. There will also be additional certificates for any activator achieving a “HEMA to HEMA.”

Alerts and spots can be found on the HEMA website here to facilitate QSOs with stations on the day - http://www.hema.org.uk/indexSpotting.jsp
