The Arizona ScQRPions crawl at night.  Here's a great warm-up for QRPTTF
and SOTA operating events Saturday May 3.

A Special Event honoring 20 years of the AZ ScQRPions QRP Club will be held
April 26, 1400-2330 UTC at the unique relic of the cold war nuclear
deterrent: the TITAN MISSILE MUSEUM in Green Valley AZ dedicated by Ronald
Reagan to creating an ongoing awareness of the Armagedon that would result
from a nuclear exchange.  Everyone should be guided through the silo and
control rooms to get a sense of the reality of it all.

The CLUB will use the site's primary antenna -- a broadband 90' DISCONE with
a fairly flat SWR from 1.8-30 Mhz, with low nodes in most of the ham bands.
We will operate with QRP rigs such as the KX3, K3, QRP+, ICOM-703, ATS-4,
Wilderness Sierra and who knows what else. QRP frequencies will be used to
the extent they produce steady contacts.  Otherwise take note of the
following operating Fregs: SSB -- 14270Mhz, 18130Mhz, 21280Mhz, & 28370Mhz,
+/-20Khz; c.w. --14020, 18072, 21030, 28015, +/-10Khz. We will call " CQ
TITAN de K7T".

Details and photos of the DISCONE monster can be viewed at the following

Special QSL on receipt of your QSL to

Ade Weiss W0RSP, 810 N. Placita la Canoa, Green Valley, AZ 85614

QRO stations certainly invited to let us know we're getting out -- and to
practice copying weak DX signals and local QRP signals! Win-win!

Check http://www.QRPSPOTS.com for most current frequency info.

Simultaneous operation of three stations on the Discone is planned using a
triplexer and bandpass filters.  An in-band SSB 20m - 10M experiment will
be attempted with additional antennas separated from the Discone.  Note
that 12M, 17M CW/SSB and 30M may also be used as this is not a contest, but
an outdoor operating event on a nice 90F+ spring day!

Drop by for a QSO!  Make our day!  CU de TITAN!
