[GCARC] 60th anniversary

[Urb LeJeune]

Hi Mark,

There is no recommended exchange to my knowledge. As simple as "You're 
59 commentating the
60th anniversary of the Gloucester County Amateur Radio Club. Name here 
is Mark. If things
are busy only do GCARC and your name every 4 or 5 QSOs. Same thing with CQs.

I have heard it done several different ways.  Also, how do I call CQ for 
Special Event station?

When we were doing the Hindenburg operation we would have runs of over 
10 QSOs with only
a report but conditions were a lot better back then. hi.

We also had a lot of 2 meter repeater and simplex operations. However, 
the 2/440 Jpole was
over 200 hundred feet high.

I would think FT8 would work out well.
