International Museums Weekend
Registration email form
The simple (and free) procedure for registering to take part in the event.
Please Register:
Registration gives both you and the
stations you make contact with, several advantages. You become eligible for a
'Museums Award' and those you contact will be able to count your museum towards
their list of contacts for the 'Contacts Award'. Other stations taking
part will also know exactly where both you and your museum are located from your
callsign. The proceeds from both Awards will go to a
registered charity.
The Lat/Long items below are to enable UI-view equipped stations to be able to mark you on their map. The data can be found using a GPS, an OS map, or failing this your best guess would be better than nothing at all. The preferred format, is explained below, but any Lat/Long format again is better than none.
Latitude - input your museum station's latitude. The format is dd.mm.nn<NS>. "dd" is two digits for degrees. "mm" is two digits for minutes. "nn" is two digits for decimal minutes. NOTE - decimal minutes, not seconds. "<NS" is either "N" for North or "S for South. Example - 52.58.23N
Longitude - input your museum station's longitude. The format is ddd.mm.nn<EW>. "ddd" is three digits for degrees. "mm" is two digits for minutes. "nn" is two digits for decimal minutes. NOTE - decimal minutes, not seconds. "<EW>" is either "E" for East or "W" for West. Example - 000.02.77W
Some museums may be running with more than one callsign, perhaps for VHF and HF. Will these stations when registering please fill in the form once, for each of your special event callsigns. Your entries will then be placed in the 'Museums List' as 5017, and 5017a etc....
Registration is now in operation for this years event, but unfortunately the usual form does not work very well. Could you therefore do the following-
