Operation Manna 80

A very special, special event station

SARC has been asked to participate in a large-scale special event late in April commemorating the relief efforts of the winter of 1944-45 to drop tons of food to the starving population of NW Holland. It is well described at: Operation Manna @ 80 and in the video https://youtu.be/0PwhYFdzY_Q

Amateur stations from the drop zones in Holland, air force bases in Britain, plus the Allied forces that provided aircraft and pilots, including the UK, Canada, The US, Poland and Australia will be represented by special event stations in those countries.

Three UK Teams, one at the International Bomber Command Centre, another at former RAF Binbrook (an Operation Manna Airfield in the UK) and another at the 100th Bomb Group Museum at Thorpe Abbots representing the US operation Chowhound from a former Chowhound airfield.

The national Radio Scouting team (Plusscouts PA3EFR/J) will be operating from an Operation Manna drop zone near The Hague, The Netherlands. Read on for further details on this team and their radio station location at  The Team in the Netherlands – Operation Manna @ 80

The stations will be active April 25-27 (Friday through Sunday) using variations of the xx80MAN callsign. Here at SARC, we will be using VB7MAN (because of Canadian location designations we are required to have a '7' in our callsign). Visit VB7MAN - Callsign Lookup by QRZ Ham Radio



Children and youth activities will also be included and there will be activity on HF, DMR and VHF
