VI2021PRIDE was a big success with three major activations throughout the year and hundreds of completed QSOs. Giving a voice to our members and showing our pride. We began planning for a special event callsign - VI2021PRIDE. Within our first two months we had an Australian and US callsign, and we started ad-hoc nets and skeds. Pride Radio Group was now a home for us, a place to feel safe, and a place to organise. Now they knew that they were not alone and that is an amazing feeling. On day 0 of Pride Radio Group launching I had many positive emails and messages along the lines of вЂњI might get back on the airвЂќ and вЂњIвЂ™m going to start studying againвЂќ from people who had not felt comfortable in the amateur radio community anymore. Pride Radio Group was formed September 2020 with the focus on promoting and supporting diversity in amateur radio. The contest is open to all amateurs world wide as single or multi operator entries.ДЄs this is the first contest we are running, let me share why this contest is important and how diversity groups are so important in amateur radio.
