Please stop; do not send a report to the Official Observer Corps; but
work the station and send a spot to the packet cluster when you hear
the slightly chirpy CW signals from W1HIS on 80 and 40 meters during
Field Day.  W1HIS will be a reconstituted World War II vintage field
wireless station with 100% WW II (June 1944) vintage radios and
accessories, including two Wireless Sets No. 19, a WS#18, WS#38, a
human-powered and a gasoline-fueled Mark V generator.  NO
transistors, NO digital electronics, NO coax-fed antennas, NO ferrite
baluns, not even a computer for logging.  Even the operators will be
WW II vintage (born in 1943).  QTH: Cove Island Park, Long Island
Sound, City of Stamford, CT.  Set up by Headquarters Company, 1st
Canadian Parachute Battalion (Reenacted) to honor the veterans and
educate the public.

Tnx.  -Chuck, W1HIS
