In amateur radio, a Special Event Station is a special operation usually in observation or commemoration of a special or historical event, often with a special vanity call sign. These stations generally operate for a short time and have special QSL cards to commemorate the event.

Special event stations licensed in the United States will often have a special 1x1 call sign.^[1][2]
