Unique contact cards (known as QSL cards) are to be issued to to amateurs making contact with the station, the cards being illustrated with an image depicting the Peterloo Massacre and bearing the special event call-sign. These cards are avidly collected.

The event should spread knowledge of the Peterloo Massacre to a Global audience.
