When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, Denmark pledged to assist the UN and the United Nations Command and to provide humanitarian aid to the Allied forces in South Korea. Medicinal products were made available very quickly, and after negotiations it was agreed that Denmark would also send a hospital ship. In the autumn of 1950, the shipping company ØK agreed to make Jutlandia available to the Danish government, and after rebuilding, the ship departed on January 23rd, 1951, heading for Korea.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of this event, Experimental Danish Radio Amateurs will activate a special radio station using the call sign OVØJUTLANDIA. In the period from January 1st 00:00 UTC until March 31th 23:59 UTC this year, the call sign will be active on most amateur radio bands with CW, SSB and DIGI modes. All bands including WARC-bands, and all modes may be used.
All two way contacts and SWL reports will be valid for the special OVØJUTLANDIA award.
Every contact with OVØJUTLANDIA on different band or with different modes (CW, SSB or DIGI) counts one point. Example: Contact with OVØJUTLANDIA on 20m CW and 20m SSB and 20m RTTY and 40m CW will give you 4 points.
