[50mhz] BP56 on the air from Alaska's Arctic Circle

[KL7BB]

Alaska's Arctic Circle Station 66Deg 33Min N. LAT and 150Deg 47Min 41Sec W. LON from Grid Square BP56 will be on the air from July 26 to August 10, 2008 using the Special Events Call Sign W1AW/KL7.
This 16 day operation is being run by Alaska hams from all over Alaska and the Lower 48. For more info see the www.AKHamFest.com web site and check on the Arctic Circle Station. 
If you wish to stop by and operate, please bring a photocopy of your current FCC Amateur Radio License. The Station Location is in Alaska's raw wilderness approx 300 miles South of the Arctic Ocean. We are expecting the enhanced effect of the Summertime Midnight Sun 
keeping active the long 6 to 8 hour ride in the Gray Line Terminator.  It can provide 0600 to 1400 UTC Daily coverage of most of the surface of the globe.  Insight on the effect is in the 2008 August QST on page 21 for more details. This top of the Sun 
splashed globe can provide RF paths in both directions at the same time.  Imagine Europe and Africa off to the East and at the same time VK and ZL and Asia off to the West.  It can result in double pile ups if the Ionospheric Gods and Goddesses are blessed by Mother 
Nature and Father Time with good Band Conditions.
