The Collins Amateur Radio Club in cooperation with the Cedar Valley Amateur
Radio Club will be operating W0CXX/29 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of
the invasion of Iwo Jima. The special event will run from February 19, 2005
18:00 UTC to Feb 20, 02:00 UTC.  Contacts will be made on an ART-13 and
SCR-274N from a model of the B29 radio operator position.  Special QSL.
Freq(+/-): 3885 7290 14286 (AM) and 3529, 7029, and 14029 (CW).  QSL with
SASE to The History Center, 615 1st Ave. SE   Cedar Rapids, IA  52401

The plan is to operate the ARC-5 mostly on phone (80) and the ART-13 mostly
on CW (20), but we hope to be flexible and switch around, especially get
the ART-13 on 80m AM after dark.

Clyde Hussey (KM4RC), a B-29 radio operator who was on the last B-29 mission over
Japan, will be at the History Center at noon to inaugurate the B-29 station
and make the very first calls.
