The DVRA will be marking the 87th anniversary of the Orson Welles 
broadcast of the*War of the Worlds on October 30, 1938*, with a special 
event station, WØW.

In the broadcast, Martian invaders first landed in Grovers Mill, NJ (in 
West Windsor township). The DVRA will be operating WØW on Sunday, 
October 26th from Noon to 5PM in Vant Nest Park (218 Cranbury Rd, West 
Windsor Township, NJ 08550). Van Nest Park is located in Grovers Mill. 
This will be a rain or shine event. We will be setting up under the 
picnic pavilion in the park. Stop on by to operate WØW or just to check 
out the action.

We will be setting up two stations operating either SSB or CW. We need 
folks to help operate WØW as well as setting up and taking down the 
stations before and after the event. Set-up begins at 11AM.

For SSB, we will try to have two people operating the station (one on 
the mic and the second doing the computer logging) in half hour shifts. 
CW ops, please bring your own straight key/bug/paddles. CW ops will need 
to do your own logging.

Tin foil hats will be optional on the 26th.
