Collins Radio is 75 years old!
 

All,

In case you missed the announcement on the ARRL website:

http://www.arrl.org/news/features/20...11/10326/?nc=1

Collins Radio celebrates it's 75th year over the next week, starting
on 9/20/2008 at 0:01 UTC though 9/26/2008 23:59 UTC.

Why do you care?

Well... If you collect QSL cards and would like to get the card that
celebrates this once in a lifetime event, all you need to do is
operate 4 out of the 6 club stations and get a QSL card from each,
then turn in these 4 cards for the special event certificate. It will
be quite a challenge to get 4 of the stations in the next week, but if
you have the time and keep an eye on the DX Spotting clusters this
could be a fun thing to try.

Why do I care?

Well, personally I'll be operating W5ROK for a number of hours during
this event. We are competing among ourselves to see who can do the
best job of logging QSO's. I don’t think I’ll win, but I intend to
make it as hard as I can on the guys who will. I plan to operate
voice and PSK and I need your help getting your call into our log!

Warm up that station, watch the DX spotting clusters and give us a
call.

Let's Operate!
