Starting May 18th the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Special Event Amateur Radio Stations will begin activity. Five special calls, representing the five rings of the Olympic flag, will be QRV. The calls
will be BT1OB, BT1OJ, BT1OH, BT1OY and BT1ON.

The last letter of the call sign corresponds to the color of each of the rings of the Olympic flag - Beibei (Blue), Jingjing (Black), Huanhuan (Red), Yingying (Yellow) and Nini (Green).

BA4EG will be the QSL manager for all stations.

QSLs can be sent either direct or via the bureau and will begin to be answered in October. There will be a website set up at www.bj2008ses.com.cn which should be up and running by May 16th. The website will include an on-line log search, and QSL card receive and sent status, along with other information. There will also be award criteria posted soon. Look for these five Olympic special event stations to be QRV through September 17th.
