SVR = SV Revolution

 .. "SVR",ie Sierra Victor Revolution, is an Amateur Radio activity program, related-inspired from the "Hellenic War of Independence" that took place in 1821, to honour the "Strugle for Freedom", running the entire year 2021during the 200 years anniversary.

So, we picked areas all over Greece, where battles or important events took place and gave them a chronical reference number, starting from SVR-001 to SVR-137. 

   You know the game, is familiar and similar to WWFF, IOTA, SOTA, WLOTA, COTA, BOTA  etc .... and everyone get emotions and wins  AWARDS.

As many SVR Refs (=refferences) you activate, or you have in your log, so bigger score to claim two (2) kind of AWARDS. One for Hunters and one for Activators.  Chose the field suits you and QRV ! 

In all cases, if a SVR-xxx has been activated before, DOESN 'T MEAN IT'S DELETED.  Instead, there is a  lure, a motive to "break" the  yardstick and prove that you can do most!

Pick up from the map, or in "google earth"  the SVR-xxx that suits you, you like, you are interested about, discuss it with your “gang” and “roads & skies are wide open” !

<<<    effort should be requite .. so rules and tips about AWARDS for Activator's can be found here    >>>

As I am the SVFF Coordinator, I have chosen interesting ideas from WWFF programm and also with personal opinions, I figured simple rules to confirm as valid a SVR activation :

- Fill and send an EZmail "SVR Activation form" or send an email to sv2gwy(at)nrg.com.gr the following details:

Your Callsign, Fullname, cellphone, SVR Ref No, Callsign and date of Activity, Grid locator, operator(s) Callsign, TX/RX, Antennas, power supply, modes, TX power, QSL route and...comments.

OR SIMPLY Inform all us, the SVR Activators and Hunters with all the above details on "SVR facebook profile"

for the validity of the expedition show us:

   - few photos during the installation of the station (shack, antenna, etc.) and during operation

   - or Audiovisual material (youtube) on the internet

   - or Tickets fares etc for your entrance or your routing to the SVR Reference

   - or Anything else you think documenting your presence in SVR Ref.No

   1. Follow the above

   2. It helps to use the frequencies reminds the year 1821: 

          SSB:  3.782, 7.121,            14.221, 18.121, 21.221, 24.912, 28.321
          CW:  3.521, 7.021, 10.121,14.021, 18.082, 21.021, 24.982, 28.021
          Digi: 3.573, 7.074, 10.136,14.074, 18.100, 21.074, 24.915, 28.074                                                                              

   3. When CQ-ing it is of course important to mention the SVR reference.

   4. The activation of a SVR reference must be with at least 82 contacts at a time more than 82 minutes broadcast. 

   5. ONLY for QRP activations, manage at least 21 QSOs for at least 21 minutes on the air.

   5. If for any reason, the number of QSOs, or the time limit couldn't be managed, there is a chance to fullfill the rest WHENEVER it's possible.

   6. In case of group activation, the limit of QSOs is 182 in 2 hours, regardless the number of participents.

   7. In 24 hours period can be activated max three (4) different SVR Refs, with at least 21 QSOs for each reference, regardless RF power. 

   8. Simultaneοus SVR activation with other radio-amateur programs with different subject, NOT ONLY ALLOWED, BUT IT IS RECOMMENED!

       ie. if in a mountain's peak there is a castle and the same time is a wildilife refugee, then the activation could be multiple:

       SVR (058), SOTA (PL-013), COTA and SVFF(0134) .

  9. Send the QSO log (ADIF) for further upload, to sv2gwy(at)nrg.com.gr as followes:

callsign @ reference YYYYMMDD

 for Group Actvation, send individual Adif for every operator.

ALL Logs will be ACCEPTED and forwarded to AWARD platform regardless the QSO and time limit, only if the

transmisions take place around 2 km of SVR Ref Coordinates.

the best motive, is good mood and good company ...

                                                                                          ... have fun, display, promote the beauty and uniqueness of SV land
