Muistaakseni SRAL antoi jokunen vuosi sitten HQ-tunnuksen käyttöön
asemalle, joka sijaitsi kahdella tai kolmella Uudenmaan paikkakunnalla.
Hallitus "venyttää" varmaan nytkin tulkintaa, jos siihen on tarvetta.
Radioamatööri-lehden kesäkuun numeron sivulla 49 on HQ-tunnus haettavana.
Hakuaika meni umpeen eilen torstaina, mutta uskon että liitto on joustava
ja noudattaa hallintomenettylain henkeä ja hyväksyy vielä kohtakin tehdyt
hakemukset käsittelyyn. Työvaliokunta kokoontuu ensi viikon keskiviikkona
päättämään asiasta.

SRAL:n tulkinta kutsujensa käytöstä "venyy" niin kannattaa huomata, että
HQ-asema voi olla äänessä 12 eri paikasta. Eli joka bandilla saa olla
erikseen CW ja SSB-asema eikä sijaintia ole rajoitettu (paitsi samaan DXCC
maahan). Ruotsista on tulossa SKxHQ, jolla on asemia ainakin 3 - 5 hyvällä
asemalla ympäri Ruotsia.
