[UK-CONTEST] 2O12xx special prefix stations

*2O12xx special prefix stations

*
The Olympics Games and Paralympic Games provide an outstanding 
opportunity to publicise amateur radio. To that end the RSGB negotiated 
a very limited number of special prefixes, 2O12xx, with the intention 
that these calls are given a proper airing over the Olympic period this 
summer. We already have special stations planned for London, 2O12L, and 
Wales, 2O12W. We also  have a special call for the National Radio 
Centre. But we would like to encourage groups in Scotland and Northern 
Ireland to take advantage of calls we have secured for them. Groups who 
would like to use the calls for all or part of the Olympic period should 
bear in mind that public access and a good world-wide coverage will be 
required. We need to have expressions of interest without delay so we 
can complete the formalities with Ofcom. If no offers are forthcoming 
from Scotland and Northern Ireland then we retain the option of throwing 
this open to any stations in the UK who feel they can put on a good show.
