The HG160FNY Activity

 

Historical background

Austria attached Hungary on December 2. 1848.

The National Defense Board was relocated from the Capital to the city of Debrecen in the hope that the Capital City, as-well-as the Country can be saved from destruction.

The Austrian army occupied the Capital and Transdanubium 160 years ago.

The expanded Parliament convened in the Great Cathedral of Debrecen and declared the second time the deposition of the ruling Austrian Habsburgs, also declared the independence of Hungary.

On the same day Lajos Kossuth was elected as Governing President.

The Hungarian Government was reestablished with Bertalan Szemere as Prime Minister.

 

Dear Ham Friends,

The radio amateurs of the City of Debrecen remind us to these historical events 160 years ago by issuing special callsigns and a Commemorative Diploma.
