[JMS] AWA AM QSO Party - W1HRX - THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND

[Don Buska - The Radio Lab Works]

Next weekend is the AWA AM QSO Party and as has been the case since the 
first Party W1HRX will again be a flagship station.

This year W1HRX returns to 1-land with Bill K1BF hosting as control 
operator from his shack in Maine.  Bill will be assisted by Jim, KB1MCV 
and as a result W1HRX may be multiband and multioperator.  Yet another 
first if it works out and we can hear W1HRX simultaneously on two bands. 
  Bill will be fully high power Millen/National on 75 meters, an ART-13 
will provide RF on 40 meters and a Ranger w/amplifier will do duties on 
20 meters.

This is an open operating event and anyone can participate.  Thus AWA 
membership is not required!  For rules see:

Please note they have the wrong year on the event date within the rules 
text.  The days are correct though.  It goes from 6PM EST Saturday 
afternoon for a 24 hour period (6PM EST Sunday).

I will be on with my Millen setup both days.

Last, I want to thank those who offered to operate W1HRX this year. 
This will be the first time Bill operates W1HRX and in an effort to 
expand the use and opportunity I decided to return the call back to the 
1-land this time around.  I'm sure the last time it was used in New 
England was when James Millen QSO'ed from his Massachusetts hilltop 
station.

I hope to work my fellow JMS members this weekend.  Millen-to-Millen!
