Using the call sign W7P, op= erations will be based at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, set up = in front of the new Marley Astronomy Discovery Center. Stations will be active daily, as time and band conditions permit. This event commemorates the discovery of Pluto by Clyde Tombaugh at the Low= ell Observatory in 1930. Operations will take place in a communications tra= iler with upgraded equipment. An ARRL grant was used to heat the trailer and it can now run on solar powe= r with 100-amp hour batteries. With over 100 inches of snowfall each year, = NADXA members will also be operating from their home stations and from out-= of-state locations to keep the event on the air. Tombaugh=E2=80=99s nephew, Doug Tombaugh, N3PDT, and his team will be opera= ting as W7P/=C3=98. Suggested frequencies are 14.266, 21.366, 28.366, and 7= =2E266 MHz.
