Greetings all! The DVRA will mark the 88th anniversary of the Orson Welles broadcast of 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 operate WØW for the 5th year (Yikes! How time flies.) on Sunday, November 1 from Noon to 5 PM in Van 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. 

This year’s event will not coincide with the CQ World Wide contest, so we won’t have to deal with as much congestion on the bands, especially 20 meters.

We will be setting up two stations operating either SSB or CW, as we did last year.  Set-up begins at 11 AM.
