To commemorate the third anniversary of the FT8 Digital Mode Club, special event stations will be on air during the FT8DMC Activity Days until 31 July. All stations will bear the FTDMC or FTDM suffix. An FTDMC Anniversary Award can be earned by working the FTDMC and FTDM stations and collecting points applicable for various award classes.
