Special Event Call Sign Application for “W7Q” made by CCRC has been approved for use from 2025-10-15 to 2025-10-19.
In conjunction with the Great Shakeout preparedness event on October 16th, the Coos County Radio Club sponsored the special event call sign – W7Q for Earth Quake Preparedness and Awareness.
Licensed Ham Radio operators – especially those in Western Oregon – are welcome to use the call during the period to make QSO’s of any type. But remember! Transmit only within your license privileges.
This is not a contest. QSO cards are up to the operator. Your logs are your logs, but we’d love to hear how you used the event to spread info on Amateur Radio emergency preparedness.
FCC:
When transmitting in conjunction with an event of special significance, an amateur station (“special event station”) may transmit the identification announcement using a special event call sign in accord with the procedures detailed below. Substituting a special event call sign for its assigned call sign may help a special event station call attention “on-air” to its participation in the special event and to the unique opportunity for the amateur service community to exchange greetings with the station. Use of these provisions, however, must not detract from the station making the source of its transmissions known to those receiving them.
The special event station must also transmit its assigned call sign at least once per hour during such operation.

W7Q is available for use Wednesday 15th through Sunday the 19th.
