A special ITU station
 
Special event station 8N3ITU is operating from the International
Telecommunication Union 14th Plenipotentiary Conference.  The
station is set up at the International Congress Center in Kyoto,
Japan, site of the conference.
 
ITU officials attending the conference who are licensed amateurs are
allowed to operate the station.  Japanese amateurs watch over the
station and assist visiting amateurs.  The station's sponsor, the
Japan Amateur Radio League, asks operators to avoid ''piling up'' on
8N3ITU.
 
The operators also hope to have a station on amateur satellites,
possibly AO-13.
 
The conference is scheduled to run until October 14.  QSLs may be
sent via the JARL bureau, or direct with an SASE to 8N3ITU,
JARL-Kansai, 3-8-31 Daidou, Tennouji, Osaka 543, Japan.
