From January 1st 2010 until December 31st 2010, there will be the activation of several special event stations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Naval Amateur Radio Society.
The RNARS was the first society to unite the Interational Naval and Maritime Ham Radio community. Since the foundation of our mother society " the BMARS", several national and maritime amateur radio groups have been founded, all with ties of friendship to each other . All these maritime and naval amateur radio groups exchange information and contact each other trough the international Navy Ham Group

The Belgian activation will be with the cooperation of operators from the UBA section ONZ and the BMARS and guest operators.
A small lesson in history.
As QSl design we have made the choice of the image of the HMS Buttercup, the HMS Buttercup was the flagship of the Royal Navy Belgian section during WW2. She flew both the Belgian and Royal Naval Ensign at D-Day at the coast of Normandy.
The Royal Naval Belgian section was founded september 1940. The officers and sailors of this section manned two war corvettes, the Godetia and the Buttercup and tree patrol vessels, the Elektra, the Phrontis and the Kernot. The Royal Naval Belgian section was the foundation of the modern Belgian Royal Navy.
ON50RN is valid for RNARS and BMARS awards: RNARS 020 , BMARS 100.
All these stations may be counted as jokers for the BMARS awards ... more info www.bmars.be
