THIS SPECIAL CALL SIGN IS AUTHORIZED TO USE AND OPERATED BY INTERNATIONAL POLAR YEAR ORG, AND TO USE THE IPY LOGO.

The special call sign IP2IPY has just been activated for the first time during the International Polar Year 2007, Italy.

IP2IPY is Operated in CW Only by I2AZ

IPY, organized through the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), is actually the fourth polar year, following those in 1882-3, 1932-3, and 1957-8. In order to have full and equal coverage of both the Arctic and the Antarctic, IPY 2007-8 covers two full annual cycles from March 2007 to March 2009 and will involve over 200 projects, with thousands of scientists from over 60 nations examining a wide range of physical, biological and social research topics. It is also an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate, follow, and get involved with, cutting edge science in real-time.

This invitation, is addressed to all Radio Amateurs (OMs & SWLs) around the world, and to the Clubs and Organizations who would like to join and share with us this initiative.
