It started on May 5th, 1940, where Chinese amateur radio operators started an "On air conference". On May 5th, 1947, the conference covered all the regions in China, it was the biggest on air event. In 1942 and 1944, there were 2 exhibitions associated with the "On air conference". In recent years, the CRAC organized several events on May 5th every year and designated that day as a Chinese amateur radio festival, called "5.5 Festival". Due to COVID-19, the CRAC called for all amateur radio operators "Stay Home" to fight for the Conoravirus situation. The 2020 "5.5 Festival" was shifted to the air waves. The CRAC provides special awards to whose who meet the criteria below. Award application can be sent to (cq55@crac.org.cn); indicate your call- sign, award category and E-mail address to receive the award. The award application deadline is September 30th, 2020. Award Rules: The award has three categories Bronze, Silver and Golden, which will be measured by slots worked. One slots is a combination of a special callsign, band and mode.

Although we are missing DXpeditions, there is a tremendous amount of activity on the bands as every country in the world seems to have stay at home orders. With no expeditions, some may be experiencing a lack of motivation to get on the air. We have the answer! CQ's annual DX Marathon!! Each year hams are invited to work as many countries and CQ zones as possible. So far this year over 255 CQ countries have been active plus all 40 zones. That is a lot of DX chasing to keep everyone busy! There are plenty of certificates and even plaques for the top scores each year, but many hams simply compete against themselves to improve their totals each year. This is a wonderful time to participate in the DX Marathon and see how many countries and zones you can work this year!!! Complete details on the DX Marathon are available on the DX Marathon website - www.dxmarathon.com . Come and join the fun! 73, John K9EL CB3, CHILE (Special Event).
