[Tom Hammond]

Folks... for your enjoyment and (hopefully) delight):

To observe the 90th anniversary of the First Transcontinental Relay 
of Formal Message Traffic, the Mid-MO Amateur Radio Club of Jefferson 
City, Missouri, will activate a 24-hour Special Event Station using 
call sign "W9C" beginning 2000 UTC on Saturday, January 27, 2007.

The event is in commemoration of the work of 18-year old Willis 
Porter Corwin, 9ABD, of Jefferson City who was the third station in 
the relay that set the transcontinental record on this date in 1917.

Unfortunately, the newspaper left out several of the pix from their 
Internet-readable article. If you'd like to see pix of the 9ABD shack 
(outside), his antenna, and RX/TX, please drop me a note and I'll 
ship them off to you a.s.a.p.

CW frequencies will be approximately 40 kHz. above the lower band 
edges of 80, 40, 30, and 20 meters (WARC and above if conditions
