Our group of Radioamateurs organised a special event station to commemorate
the anniversary of the landing in Ranville Normandy! This World War 2 event started the liberation of Europe (
D-Day second World War 1940-45).
Our special call is F/ON6JUN/P what means "
France On the 6th of June at Pegasus".

Once upon a time,
the planning of the greatest seaborne invasion
ever took place.
Four years in the preparation, Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, marked the beginning of the end of World War II and the eventual liberation of Europe.
