 All y'all,
 
 This may be something I've told some of you about
 before, but I just want to say it "one more time" so
 that I won't leave anyone out.  
 
 On Saturday, February 18, starting at 7 pm EST (0000
 UTC) and running until 7 pm on Sunday, February 19,
 the Antique Wireless Association's AM QSO Party will
 be on the air.  
 
 There will be two "Flagship Stations" in the Party
 this year.  W2AN will be on from the AWA Museum
 Annex in New York State running James Millen's
 personal, 1930's transmitter on 75 meters and other
 gear on 40 and 20 meters.  And I will be on the air
 from New Mexico signing James Millen's personal call
 sign, W1HRX, courtesy of the James Millen Society
 which now holds this call as its club station.  I
 will have a very special transmitter on 80 and 40, a
 National NTX-30 and NSM modulator.  The NTX-30
 originally belonged to O. Eugene Simms, Millen's
 personal assistant at National and also at the James
 Millen Company.  It will be paired with an HRO that
 originally belonged to Professor Bob Higgy, W8IB,
 from The Ohio State University.  I will also have a
 Viking II on 20, paired with an HRO-5TA1.  
 
 W1HRX will be between 3850 and 3885 on 75, around
 7290 +/- QRM on 40, and around 14286 +/- QRM on 20. 
 My friend Doc, K7SO, is coming down for the event;
 so we will have two stations on the air at the same
 time during the contest.  We will listen for SSB and
 CW as well as for AM stations calling us.  
 
 If you would like to work W1HRX and get a James
 Millen QSL card, please give us a call.  
 
 Looking forward with great anticipation to talking
 to you all!
