Dear
OM, YL and SWL friends,
We introduce
the new Amateur Radio Award W.H.S.A. dedicated to the World Heritage Sites
as listed by the UNESCO in its official page
http://whc.unesco.org/
We asked to
UNESCO to be the main sponsor of this project and we hope the Council will
accept.
Start date of
all WHSA activities was January 1st, 2014.
The purpose,
of course is, to give large publicity to each World Heritage Reference the
Radio Amateurs will activate, and to publish their reportages in a proper
page, in this way we hope to increase the knowledge of the places that are
recognized as "World Heritage".
We hope this
Award will become an international HAM Award as almost 160 Countries have
one or more Sites that have been awarded as "World Heritage Site". Of
course for our purposes from these Sites we got a large number of objects or
areas that have been listed as References of the W.H.S.A.
Even if this
Award starts in Italy by A.R.I., the most important Italian Radio Amateur
Association, we hope other Associations over the world will join our project
and collaborate with us to update and manage the WHSA list.
The list we
have made is to be considered provisional, as we know the situation of our
Country but every other HAM Association knows its own situation better than
us.
So every
suggestion is welcome in order to integrate this list to get it as complete
as possible.
And of course
all National Radio Amateur Organizations are encouraged to take part to this
project.
