Steve and all...It would be great to have a vintage WW II Am station on
at the hotel kind of what they do at Barksdale AFB annually with a
special event station See QRZ at W5B... There is there QSL This was last
weekend...I can get that WW II station and plenty of OPS from the other
clubs and would be more then happy to help

I can also get a SSB station for us to use from either ICOM or
Yaesu...They supplied us gear for a HAMCOM Special event
station...Chapter 207 has the call sign NA5AM and you could also use the
W2MM call sign...Two stations two calls
