[PaQSO] 2009 PQP Special Event Station

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Thanks for the info Mike.  The good news is that they're being moved, not
dismantled, as has happened to other college club stations.

While I'm glad to see that a lot of people liked my idea, clearly, they
won't be in the best of shape to operate the club station on campus come Pa
QSO.  Of course, the club trustee, WA3FET, could host the club from his
contest station... assuming he still has the KC3R contest setup available...
(no, that's not a typo)

Still, I do feel concerned that I may have put the students "on the spot"
for something they may not be prepared for on short notice.  And while I'd
love to volunteer to operate the station Just One More Time (I still have my
"202AA" key to 202 Engineering Unit 'E' from 1982), that won't be in the
cards for me.

Considering, however, that December 1909 marks the start of K3CR's
centennial, maybe they could be considered (if they are interested, of
course) for 2010?  (The centennial year would be December 2009 - 2010,
natch).  Another alternative would be 2012 as the centennial of the 8XE
license, but that's getting ahead of ourselves.

Looking forward already to the 2009 'test... and VERY glad that I'm NOT
organizing the SES this year!  (Once was enough for quite awhile!)

73, ron w3wn

The K3CR station is in the process of being moved, and they don't have  
their towers up yet. According to their website they are listening to  
stations using a metal staircase. While they would be an interesting  
candidate, this year probably isn't the best time for that. Maybe an  
inauguration of there finished station sometime in the future?

But not to worry, I have narrowed the SES station down to two  
candidates. I'll be making the choice soon. Either one would be a good  
choice, we'll see how things shake out.
