[KYHAM] Field day blues --- the cure

[Pat Spencer, KD4PWL]

Good idea Danny!
         After a little research, it is NOT hard to put together a Special 
Event Station.  You just have to have a reason, and a few operators who are 
willing to get "out of the house."  All of our local communities have 
something to celebrate, or share with the world.  It doesn't have to be 
something major that is listed in the history books.  There is a lot of 
unpublished history, and local events that deserve recognition.
         There is a lot of info on the ARRL site at 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/spev.html
         If you would like to get a special event callsign, you can go to

Upcoming KY Special Event Stations listed on the ARRL site:
Glasgow, KY:
Mammoth Cave Amateur Radio Club, KY4X. 1600Z-2200Z Oct 7. Commemorating the 
140th anniverary of the Civil War battle at Ft Williams. General 40 and 20 
m. QSL. Mammoth Cave ARC, KY4X, 213 Trappers Trl, Glasgow, KY 42141.

Hope this helps everyone interested!
Take care, 73,
