About the special call signs
In honour of King Charles III’s coronation, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada has approved the use of special call signs from May 5 to July 02, 2023. These dates correspond to the early summer busy operating season and will be available to all Canadian amateurs who wish to use the special call signs on all occasions including CQ World Wide CW WPX, Field Day, and the RAC Canada Day contest. King Charles III’s coronation is planned for May 6, 2023.
To use the special call sign, substitute the prefix normally assigned to your call sign with the special prefix. For example, VE3 become CK3, VA7 becomes CJ7 and so on.
