Greetings!
A special French call sign TM82ALC, will be activated by a group of 12 amateur radio operators located in the Department of the Tarn et Garonne, France. This special call sign will be used to commemorate the 290th anniversary of the passing away of Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac (5 March 1658 – 16 October 1730), founder of the city of Detroit, Michigan U.S.A. In 1701 he went on to become the Governor of the state of Louisiana.
Two centuries later Detroit celebrated their bicentennial commemoration with much enthusiasm.
The very young Detroit Automobile Company was renamed the Cadillac Automobile Company.
The coat of arms of Lamothe-Cadillac was adopted and used as the emblem for their new cars.
We are particularly pleased to be able to honor Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac because he was born right here in the Tarn et Garonne!
TM82ALC will be on the air according to the calendar below:
From Friday 9 October 2020 through Tuesday 13 October 2020.
From Friday 16 October 2020 through Tuesday 20 October 2020.
From Friday 23 October 2020 through Tuesday 27 October 2020.
The following bands and modes will be used:
TM82ALC will be present on the HF Bands from 80 to 6 meters depending on propagation.
The modes will be: SSB CW – Digital modes (RTTY – PSK31 – FT8 – FT4)
Please send your QSLs: via the REF qsl manager F4ELR and via eQSL and LoTW.
We hope to see many of you on the air for this activation.
