The Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management Radio Operator’s Group (EMROG) will be operating a special event station this Saturday, September 11, 2004 at First Colony Mall in Sugar Land, Texas. A special call sign has been obtained – W9E (Whisky 9-11). Setup will begin at 8:00 AM in front of JC Penny with operations scheduled to start at 9:00 AM and conclude at 5:00 PM. We need as many operators as can make it for this event, it is going to be good training on the HF band.  We do not get many opportunities to work this kind of traffic.  You don't need HF privileges to operate this station on Saturday; it’s like Field Day only smaller.  I expect we will make about 300-400 contacts.  If you can make it to the event, please call Dave Scott, WD8RZA at 281 392-0846 or e-mail wd8rza at aol.com with an RSVP.   

There will be at least three helicopters, fire and police equipment, extraction demo and a chili cook-off plus much more, bring the family.
