[Elecraft] OT - W9C Special Event Stn Needs a little help tomorrow (Saturday)

[Tom Hammond]

Greetings:

You may have read my posting (yesterday) regarding the Special Event 
Station (W9C) which will be in operation to commemorate the 90th 
Anniversary of the first transcontinental passing of a formal message 
via radio. More info available at:

Our station will start operating at 2000Z, 27 JAN 2007, on 14.040 MHz 
(+/- QRM), using the callsign W9C. We will have relatives of the 18 
year old operator (9ABD) who was the middle leg of this historic 
event present at our station and one of them will initiate out first 
CQ from W9C.

I'd really like to ensure that this initial CQ is met with a response 
from another station... and I'm asking for some help to ensure that 
this wish comes true.

If you have the time and inclination to help us out, please be listen 
for us on (or near) 14.040 MHz at 2000Z tomorrow (Saturday) and 
respond to your CQ.

Obviously, there's a chance that several stations may respond... we 
will probably come back to the strongest caller, because that will be 
the best 'show' for those present and observing the operation, BUT we 
will make every effort to respond to ALL CALLERS, regardless of how 
long it takes.

Thanks for your time and I hope we will be able to work you this 
weekend from W9C.

73,
