Poland                 Tall Ships' Races Gdynia 2009 on the AIR

Tall Ships' Races (formerly Operation Sail) is a rally of the world s greatest sailing-vessels, mostly connected with regattas and shows , organized by The Sail Training Association with the aim of popularizing the idea of education of youth on board of large sailing-ships. It has been held since 1938 and gathers the largest sailing-vessels cruising the seas and oceans.

Short-wave communicators, co-operating with Rally organizers activate their radio stations, linking the noble ideas of youth naval education with activity over the ether waves. Polish radio amateurs also add their efforts to cultivate this tradition. In 1992 the amateur radio station with the call-sign of SP0OSG and in 2003 a station with the SN0OSG call-sign were active on the air. Both stations were operated by radio amateurs from the Maritime Radio Club Szkuner (SP2ZIE) from Gdynia.

In 2009 sailing-ships will start the Tall Ships Races 2009 regatta by calling at Polish ports between 2 – 5 July. Polish radio amateurs will also pack on their sails on ether waves, disseminating the good news about the noble event among their friends all over the globe. In order to render this years Sail Rally more attractive we have decided to invite all hams to a common party on the air - this will certainly help us to meet the most magnificent sailing-vessels and Gdynia, our beautiful city.
