   MILITARY COMMUNICATORS EXHIBIT

VETERANS MUSEUM AND MEMORIAL CENTER (VMMC) OPENING CEREMONY SATURDAY 10
NOVEMBER 2007 AT 2 P.M.

For the past two years, a group of former military communicators and friends
(Military Old Timer Communicators) in the San Diego area have been involved
in coordinating and developing a Military Communicators Exhibit at the VMMC,
located at 2115 Park Blvd. at the South East corner of Balboa Park. The VMMC
building was the Naval Chapel at the former Naval Hospital Balboa facilities
near downtown San Diego.

The purpose of the Military Communicators Exhibit is to highlight an
overview history of U. S. Military Communications and the importance of
communications to military commanders. It features a sampling of military
communications equipment, explains the connection between local military
commands and corporations to the military communications industry, and most
importantly, to honor the contributions of former military communicators
with story posters and photographs of their experiences in military
communications during the last six decades.

We will be operating an amateur radio special event on that day from VMMC
starting at about 9 a.m. Pacific time. The amateur radio community is highly
encouraged to make contact with station AB6RM. Vintage military
communications equipment will be used at the VMMC station. The operating
frequencies will be 3870 kHz (AM) and 3850 (CW) on the 75 Meter band and
7293 kHz (AM) and 7050 (CW) on the 40 Meter band. Due to equipment
limitations at VMMC, only one frequency can be on the air at a time. We
expect privately owned radio-equipped military vehicles will be on VMMC
premises, and if they can operate on the other frequencies, it's possible we
can use these assets to augment the base station.

Military Old Timer Communicators, amateur radio operators and friends,
especially those who are military veterans and military radio enthusiasts,
are invited to view the Military Communicators Exhibit and attend the
opening ceremony at 2 p.m. on 10 November at the VMMC. Attendance is free
and is open to the public. Monetary donations to VMMC are accepted.

You are requested to disseminate the above information to your social, club,
and professional members so we may have maximum attendance by OTC members
and friends at the Opening Ceremonies or contact station AB6RM during this
important event which honors military communicators.
