Hi Everyone I’m down in Southern AZ. 39 miles from Mexico visiting family. I plan to visit the Titan Missile Museum today Saturday July 13th and activate their 90 foot (60 year old) Discone antenna. The museum is an actual Titan ICBM missile base with underground control center. The big antenna was one method they used for HF communication. It is a 60 year old 90 foot multi band antenna tower that can be used on 40,20,10,15 Meters. I will try 20 meters to start around 10:30 (17:30 UTC) which is 11:30am Colorado time since they do not participate in Daylight Savings down here! I got the skinny from the Green Valley AZ ARC by attending their Club meeting Wednesday evening on how to activate it using a tuner. I was thinking this site has to be a POTA site, but it does not appear to be designated as such. So i will activate it as W0CNX by Calling CQ! Sorry for short notice Im down here helping a family member move and I realized I had some extra time today to play radio today. Here is some info on the site. https://titanmissilemuseum.org/museum/ham-radio-operators/I will be sending out my frequency spot by email once I'm onsite and see whats open at 10:30 am AZ Standard (17:30 UTC) 11:30am CO time. 73________________________Chris NicollPhone: (719) 225-6600chris at chrisnicoll.usAmateur Radio Call Sign: WØCNX
