[ETS/PARC List] [PARC] Fw: [QRP-L] K7T at the Titan Missile Museum Saturday, April 26 -- or...

Fri Apr 25 11:41:40 EDT 2014

Not sure the info appeared as forwarded. Here it is, and I apologize if this is duplication:

The Arizona ScQRPions crawl at night.  Here's a great warm-up for QRPTTF and SOTA operating events Saturday May 3.

A Special Event honoring 20 years of the AZ ScQRPions QRP Club will be 
held April 26, 1400-2330 UTC at the unique relic of the cold war nuclear deterrent: the TITAN MISSILE MUSEUM in Green Valley AZ dedicated by 
Ronald Reagan to creating an ongoing awareness of the Armagedon that 
would result from a nuclear exchange.  Everyone should be guided through the silo and control rooms to get a sense of the reality of it all. 

The CLUB will use the site's primary antenna -- a broadband 90' DISCONE with a fairly flat SWR from 1.8-30 Mhz, with low nodes in most of the ham 
bands. We will operate with QRP rigs such as the KX3, K3, QRP+, 
ICOM-703, ATS-4, Wilderness Sierra and who knows what else. QRP 
frequencies will be used to the extent they produce steady contacts. 
 Otherwise take note of the following operating Fregs: SSB -- 14270Mhz, 
18130Mhz, 21280Mhz, & 28370Mhz, +/-20Khz; c.w. --14020, 18072, 
21030, 28015, +/-10Khz. We will call " CQ TITAN de K7T". 

Details and photos of the DISCONE monster can be viewed at the following links:

Special QSL on receipt of your QSL to

Ade Weiss W0RSP, 810 N. Placita la Canoa, Green Valley, AZ 85614

QRO stations certainly invited to let us know we're getting out -- and to 
practice copying weak DX signals and local QRP signals! Win-win!
Check http://www.QRPSPOTS.com for most current frequency info.  

Simultaneous operation of three stations on the Discone is planned using a triplexer and bandpass filters.  An in-band SSB 20m - 
10M experiment will be attempted with additional antennas separated from the Discone.  Note that 12M, 17M CW/SSB and 30M may also be used as this is not a 
contest, but an outdoor operating event on a nice 90F+ spring day!
Drop by for a QSO!  Make our day!  CU de TITAN!
