[JMS] W1HRX and the AWA 29 QSO Party - Control Station Call-To-Duty

[Don Buska]

Hi Gang,

We have been asked again to provide one of the flagship stations for the 
2009 AWA AM QSO Party.  The information I have now reports the dates as 
starting 6pm EST on Saturday, Feb. 21st and ends 6pm that Sunday.

So do we have any one willing to run with the JMS call W1HRX in 
February?  As always we would prefer a relatively high power station or 
at least one with an antenna system that would make for a reliable 
signal on the bands.  In addition, since we are an organization that 
promotes James Millen it is always our first choice to promote the 
Millen and National manufactured equipment.  The W1HRX selected 
participant with a station consisting of some Millen and/or National 
equipment gets the highest priority and seniority  in our selection.  If 
you've run W1HRX in the past don't feel  like you shouldn't do it 
again.  If you want to jus let me know.

If you feel you have the station and the time to run W1HRX during the 
upcoming AWA AM QSO Party send me a personal email.  The JMS does have 
W1HRX QSL cards (almost dead-on replica's of the 1930's W1HRX QSL)  for 
such events and cards will be provided to the person running our call 
for QSL'ing needs.  Since we are not a "dues" collecting organization 
the W1HRX station will be responsible for the cost of mailing out QSL 
cards.  However, from past experience we have rarely sent out more than 
10-20 cards per event.  In addition, you can request SASE's from worked 
stations and have them send QSL's directly to your home QTH.  We do not 
have a QSL Card manager either, hi.  Blank W1HRX QSL cards will be sent 
to the event station's QTH free-of-charge after the event is over and a 
good guess quantity of the requirement is determined.

So who is game for this years event?  Normally we tried to go with 
stations out west, since the W2AN station at the AWA is one of the 
flagship stations in this event, but I know we have some really good 
east coast potentials too and I'm willing to let this opportunity go to 
anyone anywhere.  Plus, there has been talk of possibly three flagship 
stations this year with an effort to have a new third on on the west coast.

Let me know guys.
