[OKDXA] ARRL Centennial activity - W1AW/5

[W5LE]

Connie,
Please go to this link:
http://www.arrl.org/host-stations-info
and click on "view calendar"
You'll see what is available for weeks of operation.  Please let me know 
which one of the available weeks you'd
be interested and I'll get the word to the guy at ARRL that's handling this.
73 for now.
Gene
