News Release

From: The Amateur Radio Club W0QQQ at Kansas State University

     The amateur radio club at Kansas State University will take part in
the K-State Radio Centennial: A Century of Sound and Service commemoration
of one-hundred years of broadcasting with a special event station from
September 8 through September 15. The club will operate from the campus
using the amateur radio special event call sign K0S. The special event call
sign has been issued by the Federal Communications Commission specifically
for this commemorative occasion to promote Kansas State University and its
history of one-hundred years of broadcasting.

    The amateur radio club will be using the club station facilities,
located on the fourth floor of Seaton Hall, during the week to contact
domestic and international amateur radio operators. The club plans to set
up a remote station at the base of the original broadcast towers, found
next to Nichols Hall, for the Celebration of the Towers events on September
13.

    Visitors are encouraged to stop by during station operation, at the
Seaton Hall club station during the week and at the remote station location
to learn more about amateur radio. While under the supervision of licensed
operators visitors will have the opportunity to get on the air and contact
other amateur radio operators.

            The amateur radio club at Kansas State University shares a
lengthy history too. The amateur radio club, under the call sign W0QQQ, has
been in operation since 1927.
