American Legion Special Event Set for Veterans’ Day
11/08/2017

The American Legion Amateur Radio Club (TALARC) station K9TAL in 
Indianapolis will operate special event station N9V on Saturday, 
November 11, 1800-2400 UTC, to commemorate Veterans’ Day. N9V will be on 
the air from the K9TAL radio room at American Legion National 
Headquarters in Indianapolis to celebrate and reflect upon the service 
and sacrifices of US Armed Forces veterans.

Look for N9V on or around 7.225 and 14.275 MHz (SSB); on the 147.315 
K9DC repeater; on IRLP 9735, and the EchoLink *CrossRds* conference 
node. Those who experience difficulty hearing or being heard by N9V may 
be able to check in via relay through TALARC members Everett Bollin, 
WA3DVO, in Maryland on or about 7.225 MHz (SSB) or Bill Huntimer, KI0CW, 
in South Dakota, on or about 14:275 MHz (SSB). Both relay stations will 
operate certain hours on both bands as primary net control stations. 
Other American Legion radio amateurs also may be available to relay 
messages.

If your American Legion post has an Amateur Radio club station and would 
like to participate as an assistant net control station, contact Bill 
Sloan, NZ9S.

A full-color certificate and QSL card will be sent to all radio amateurs 
who contact N9V by any means. Send a 9 × 12 SASE to The American Legion 
Amateur Radio Club, 700 N Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis, IN 46204. For 
more information, contact TALARC or visit the club’s website.
