[QCWA] Re: QCWA Digest, Vol 12, Issue 4

RIK.....yes.....NCS is the correct terminology......no such term as anchor 
in the communications community.
a "real" handle among commercial operators would be their personal "sine" 
which would be used in log keeping and to identify the operator.

>> Wednesday April 6th on 3880 kcs at 7:00 PM local East Coast time marks

>> vintage stations from across the country.
>>
>> The event is anchored by a "tall ship" AM station in each time zone. The

>> to
>> the tremendous participation in those time zones. The remaining time 
>> zones
>> will be an hour. We encourage stations to check-in on AM using Collins 
>> and
>> other AM transmitters, new and old.  It's an opportunity to revel in this
>> nostalgic mode, enjoy giving vintage equipment a "run," and sharing some
>> storytelling about classic vacuum tube homebrew and commercial designs.
>> Typically more than a hundred stations take part in the evening's
>> coast-to-coast AM event; by the time it concludes at 10:00 PM Local PST.
>>
>> LISTEN for the following anchors and stop by to say hello, won't you? You
>> don't have to be running Collins or vintage gear to be welcomed into the
>> group.
