<http://www.wzeros.com/Square1net/Titanic_Special_Event.html>

This  event will take place on Saturday, April 9th starting at 1300Z to 
Sunday, April  10th ending at 0000Z. The Special Event Station will be located 
at the World's  Largest Titanic Museum Attraction on Highway 76 in Branson, 
MO. April 14, 1912  was the night the Titanic met her demise with a huge 
iceberg on her maiden  voyage from South Hampton, English. Radio operators 
played a large part during  this disaster. It was one of the first times the new 
international distress call  "SOS" gained popularity by radio operators 
around the world.

Three  stations will operate simultaneously using SSB,and CW. All stations 
will be  manned by operators from a consortium of clubs and non-club members 
from  Southwest Missouri, as well as licensed visitors from outside the 
area. All are  welcome to come join us in this Special Event, taking it into 
the 100th  Anniversary. A very nice QSL card for each contact. This will 
continue each year  until it's 100th Anniversary. QSL card information can be 
found at

Operators at the Titanic Museum  will be stationed in full view of the 
visitors at it's entrance. A massive media  promotion is planned by the owners 
of the museum to cover local, regional and  news media. Amateur Radio will be 
the featured event in this  promotion.

NEW THIS YEAR!! A sister station, W4S, will be operating from  the Titanic 
Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN. TEN-TEC will be providing 3 new EAGLE  radios 
plus matching tuners for the operator's use.
