W1FR sends this info.April 13, 2012

Gentlemen:

    The ARRL WD2XSH experimental stations and others
will be holding a special event on 500 kHz to mark the
100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

    Operations will occur on Friday night 04/13,
Saturday night 04/14, and maybe Sunday night 04/15.
Operations will occur in the bands from 472 to 512 kHz.

    WD2XSH stations will operate on 472 to 478 kHz
as well as 495 - 510 kHz.  Operations will include
calling on 500 kHz followed by QSY as well as beacon
transmissions with commemorative messages.

    WA1ZMS (WF9XIH) will transmit a simulation of
the MGY spark gap on 483 kHz.  WE2XGR will also
make a simulated spark-gap transmission.

    Heritage stations WNE (472 kHz, MA) and NWVC
(512 kHz, OH) will also be operating.


    Juergen Gerpott DL8PFB sends word of a cross-band
event.  The weather-service station DDH47 in Pinneberg-
Hamburn will send Morsecode keying from 14th April 22:30 gmt
until 15th April 02:00 gmt. After a broadcast to all ham
radio amateurs might contact ddh47 on amateur hf bands and
have qso with ddh47/dl0swa. During the silence periods of
former maritime service the names of radio officers will be
keyed at very low speed ( qrss3 one dot at 3 seconds) for long
distance and below noise level recognition of signals.  Reports
from US and Canadian stations are very welcome.
