KICKER: A MODERN TRIBUTE TO AN ANCIENT WALL

PAUL/ANCHOR:  Special Event Stations often connect radio amateurs 
to great moments in history, whether it's the discovery of a planet,
a celebration of statehood or some other major event. Randy Sly,
W4XJ, and Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, bring us the details about a year-long
special event in England.

RANDY: Throughout 2022, hams will have an opportunity to connect to 
some ancient history in commemorating 1900 years since the building 
of Hadrian's Wall across England. I asked Amateur Radio Newsline 
Correspondent, Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, to tell me a little bit more 
about the history that inspired two hams, Austin Vaughan, M0MNE and 
Roy Nicholson, M0TKF to operate their stations near the wall.

JEREMY: In A.D. 43 after years of struggling, the Romans conquered 
the southern portion of the British Isles. Since the area to the 
North was inhabited by primitive Celtic tribes and never fully 
settled, Hadrian's Wall was built, spanning 118 kilometres, from 
coast to coast, as a defensive fortification for the southern, 
"Roman" Province of Britannia. In addition to its place in history, 
Arthur, the legendary Celtic king is said to have fought in battle 
against the invading Anglo-Saxons in the vicinity of Hadrian’s 
Wall. Parts of Hadrian's Wall still remain today.

RANDY: Amateurs from around the world should point their antennas 
toward England this year and listen for the two special event 
stations GB1900HA and GB1900HW on the HF and VHF bands in voice, CW 
and digital modes.  Be sure to check out the QRZ pages for GB1900HA 
and GB1900HW.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Randy Sly, W4XJ, with Jeremy Boot,
G4NJH.
