Route 66 on the Air, Sept 8th 2007 to 16th Sept 2007

Post by Wowbagger »

Not so much a ham fest but an on the air event, Route 66 On the Air 2007 will start next weekend, 8th Sept 2007, and run through 16th Sept 2007.

I'll be operating special event station W6M from Riverton, KS. at the Eilser Brother's General Store and anybody in the area who would wish to show up is invited - the more the merrier.

Here is the official event web site, and here's my club's site.

Cool- this is a great event. I've come close a number of times but never managed to work every one.

I'll look for you on the air!

Bump

Just a bump before I go
To whom it may concern
conversing at the speed of light
it's easy to get burned.

Whether or not I'll have any ability to get online during the next week is still an open question, but in case I don't, look for W6M on the air.

1057 contacts

Well, we made about 1057 contacts, on 20, 40, and 80 - furthest contact was Moscow Russia.

Not bad, considering that all but Wednesday we were a single radio station - Wednesday some guys from Chanute Kansas showed up with their radio, so I let them have the G5RV and I worked with my Mini Tarheel on a tripod.
