Last Man Standing Plans Special Event Station:
The crew of the hit ABC comedy Last Man Standing http://www.arrl.org/news/em-ham-radio-in-hollywood-em-amateur-radio-makes-its-debut-on-em-last-man-standing-em is planning a radio event on Sunday, October 28 to kick off the 
show's second season. Last Man Standing features Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, KA0XTT. According to Last Man Standing Producer John Amodeo, NN6JA, Mike's station is back this year with even more gear. In addition, all the antennas that were in the catwalk last year have been relocated to the studio's roof. 
Using special event call sign K6T, the 
show's crew will operate on HF, VHF, UHF, D-STAR, EchoLink and IRLP to communicate with fans of the show; 12 members of the Last Man Standing crew are licensed amateurs. Members of the Los Angeles-based PAPA System http://www.papasys.com/ will assist the crew with running the event. The crew will use several PAPA System repeaters to run analog VHF, UHF and D-STAR communications. They will also be monitoring the Disney Amateur Radio Interconnect repeater system, which has repeaters in New York City (W2ABC http://w2abc.org/index2.php), Florida (WD4WDW http://www.wd4wdw.org/ and WD4WDW-B/D-STAR https://dstargw.wd4wdw.org/) and California (KB6AJE http://www.qrz.com/db/wb6aje), as well as EchoLink capability. A list of frequencies and an operating schedule will be posted on the KA0XTT Facebook page \https://www.facebook.com/KA0XTT?ref=ts and on Amodeo's Twitter feed https://twitter.com/nn6ja in the next few weeks. A special QSL card will be sent to all hams who contact K6T; hams do not need to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope, nor do they need to send postage or "green stamps."
