[KL7AA] Ft Wainwright has its new Call Sign.

[Ron]

The Amateur Station on Ft Wainwright is now KL7FWA.  Known as the Fort 
Wainwright Amateur Radio Club.

Update is posted at QRZ so its effective now.

Mike AL7F, tells me they expect to be on the air shortly. They are still 
awaiting the last piece of paper to be signed off by the administration 
on the Army Post.

They have an Icom 756ProII as part of the donated gear from the Army.  
Its actual status is unknown just yet.  Last word I had with those folks 
on Post a few years ago was that radio had a dead display.  I do not 
know if they fixed it prior to shutting the station down.

Also on hand is the Harris RT-1446/URC 119 (radio and 1kw amp).  Mike is 
looking for documentation on that gear.  if you have copies of the 
manuals let Mike know at "patperry at gci.net".  He knows to look for free 
copies online.  I hope he finds an experienced Military Comm op up there 
to bring them up to speed on the Harris.  Not exactly a Ham friendly 
piece of gear.

Again if you have anything that they might need let Mike know, remember 
they are almost starting from scratch since the Army tossed most of the 
former MARS station books and assorted stuff.  Yes he has resources 
available up there, but we may have someone here who has a history with 
the gear that can help them figure out how to use it.
