Hello all,
   Here is a good chance to work a very OLD rig. Two years ago  when I was in 
Washington I had the chance to operate this rig.

Dear RCT members... 

I posted the message  below on the Straight Key Century Club (SKCC) 
Yahoo Group.   

What is SKCC?  It is an 'eclub' of over 4000 hams who like to make  CW 
contacts with straight keys and/or bugs.  This January is their 2nd  
anniversary... so to celebrate, they have obtained the special event  
call sign of K2A.  SKCC members can sign up to operate with the K2A  
callsign.  

Alan N7OMS has obtained the K2A callsign for the Doc  Spike W7OS 
Museum to operate as K2A/7... this Sunday, Jan 27, from 3:00 PM  to 
6:00 PM local time.  So, tune us in... or stop by the Museum and  join 
in.

SKCC message follows:

Hello...

The Clifford J  "Doc Spike" W7OS Antique Amateur Radio Museum (SKCC NR
2714) has the  priveledge of operating with the K2A SKCC Anniversary
call  sign.

Listen for K2A/7 on Sunday Jan 27 beginning at 3:00 PM  Pacific
Time... same as 2300 hrs UTC on Jan 27.

We are scheduled with  the K2A/7 call until 6:00 PM Pacific
Time...same as 0200 hrs UTC on Jan  28.

The W7OS Museum will be operating SKs and Bugs (of course) and  the
rig will be a unique one of a kind bread board transmitter from  the
pre-WWII days of amateur radio. The receiver is a Hammarlund  HQ120X,
also pre WWII. A couple of the OPS are pre WWII, the oldest  licensed
in 1934.

So, listen for "Ole Chirpy" as K2A/7 on 7052.7 KCs  at the above
times. A special QSL card will be issued to those who make  contact.

You can view the old antique rig at www.w7dk/w7os There are  two
links that will take the avid surfer to the W7OS Straight Key  Night
photo page and a pdf publication with more info about Straight  Key
Night.
