"Last Man Standing" Special Event Set for September 28
A Hollywood-style Amateur Radio special event is set for later this
month from the so-called "Seinfeld Stage" on the CBS Studio Center
lot in Studio City, California. The K6H "Hollywood Hamnado" special
event station will be on HF and D-STAR on September 28, from 1400
until 2200 UTC. Hosts for the event will be Amateur Radio crew
members of the ABC television series "Last Man Standing." On the
show, actor Tim Allen plays Mike Baxter, KA0XTT. The show's producer
is John Amodeo, NN6JA
The Southern California-based PAPA Repeater System, in association
with the Broadcast Employees Amateur Radio Society (BEARS) and Disney
Emergency Amateur Radio Service (DEARS) are sponsoring the special event.
Operation will take place on 10, 20, and 40 meters on HF and D-STAR
reflector 12A. Rob Antonacci, AA6RA, said K6H is planning to run
three SSB stations, operating on or around 28.420, 14.250, and 7.260
MHz. The PAPA website, the
W5KUB chat room, and the
Mike Baxter KA0XTT Facebook page
will provide up-to-the-minute updates.
K6H also will use the Disney Amateur Radio Interconnect to link the
WB6AJE repeater in Los Angeles to Disney/ABC-sponsored repeaters in
Manhattan-Bristol, Connecticut; Washington, DC, and Orlando, Florida.
Various IRLP and EchoLink nodes will be available. Those contacting
K6H will receive a limited-edition QSL card.
Tom Medlin, W5KUB, will be on Stage 9 to interview
the participants and report on the special event activity. The
PAPA website will stream video directly from
the operating stations. So far, 26 members of the "Last Man Standing"
crew have been inspired by the show's Amateur Radio component to get
licensed. -- Thanks to Rob Antonacci, AA6RA
