Implementation of 2x1 contest callsigns

After considering the feedback from the survey, the ACMA has recommended to the AMC that it starts allocating 2x1 callsigns based on the following arrangements:
• The AMC will manage the allocation of the 2x1 callsigns on behalf of the ACMA.
• The callsign template comprises VK$A-Z, VJ$A-Z and VL$A-Z.
• Callsigns are:
• issued exclusively for amateur radio contests
• limited to amateur radio clubs and holders of an Amateur Operators Certificate of Proficiency – Advanced
• limited to one 2x1 call sign per licenced station – not including repeater or beacon licences.
• Successful 2x1 callsign applicants are not required to obtain a new licence or vary an existing licence.
• 2x1 callsigns will be issued for a period of 12 months.
• Callsigns will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The allocation process will commence at 10 am, 13 October 2021.
