>> Hello from the Northern Colorado ARC and the WWV Centennial Committee,
>>
>>
>> The WWV Operator Application is now on-line and interested amateurs who would like to be an operator are encouraged to apply!
>>
>> Anyone interested in being an operator for the WWV Centennial Celebration can fill out an Operator Application, NOW AVAILABLE at the WWV100.com website.  NCARC will operate a Special Event Amateur Radio Station, call sign WW0WWV, for 5 days from September 27 - October 2 (9/28-10/2 UTC) adjacent to the WWV/WWVB site.  There will be potentially 4 simultaneous stations on the air at the same time, and the stations will operate 24-hours a day for the 5 days.  The National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, will formally recognize the 100th anniversary of WWV on October 1, 2019, at the station site.
>>
>> Individuals are welcome to apply.  If you’ve got a good ham-buddy or are a member of a club, consider coming as a 2-person team or larger group.  Operator shifts will be 3 hours long, 2 hours actually operating, 2 operators to a shift.  Do the math and we need to fill 480 operator shifts!  Yes, there will be opportunity to work multiple shifts, but we also want to allow as many operators to participate as we can.  There will be a need for substitutes, so help will always be welcome if you happen to be hanging out.  We will have specific shifts working SSB, CW, and data, so please indicate your mode preferences on your application.  Also indicate what days you are available during the event (September 27 - October 2).  We’ll work out specific shift times later.
>>
>> Applications will be accepted through the end of April, probably longer.  We’ll start getting back to applicants with their status mid-April, and begin assigning specific shifts.  Earlier entries will be given preference when choosing operator assignments, so apply soon!  Again, tell us specifics about what days you are available.  There is an “Other Information” field you can use to elaborate on anything you’d like.
>>
>> We’d like to answer any questions you may have.  Send us an email at wwv at ncarc.net
>>
>> Please pass this email on to anyone you think may be interested.  Club members are not necessarily bound to work with their club, and can apply as an individual or one other as desired.  It is OK to post this to a club mailing list, but PLEASE DON’T SPAM any mail servers!
>>
>>
>> We hope to see you in Northern Colorado from September 27 - October 2, 2019, for the 100th anniversary of WWV and to join us as an operator of WW0WWV.
