It’s now time to book the 15th AAW, getting your special call, your WAP reference number and jump into the unique International Ham event to promote Antarctica … join in and enjoy it!
For over 15 years the annual Antarctic Activity Week is running with the unique purpose of fostering interest in the Antarctic region and its related facts.
The 15th Antarctic Activity Week (AAW) will begin Saturday February 17th, and runs till 24:00 UTC Sunday 
February 25nd. Someone may ask the reason of why this edition is two days longer than the past years; well, several participants did ask the possibility to have 2 weekends instead of 1 … so this year will be a test, if 2 more days are felt too long, next edition will return back to 7 days activity.
Look for the several special event stations world-wide that will animate the 15th AAW; each one has its own super special QSL card available. Check for the list of SES station at: http://www.waponline.it/antarctic-activity-week/aaw-2018/, QSL routes and attractive Awards.
