K2AA is celebrating its 100th year during 2016. Please note you will see
call signs signing /100. I checked N1MM and it will accept contacts signed
/100.



In order to reduce busted calls it is important to make certain that you log
the station signing /100 with the /100 otherwise it could cost a lot of
points to all parties.



Having said that K2AA/100 will be on the air this weekend running 3 bands
from FM29mu

A tentative plan for band operation is listed below, but may be altered in
response to conditions, in- process contacts, and other necessities:



. 2m FM: Especially but not exclusively for club members on 144.465 at the
top of each hour: 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 pm Saturday; at the top of each hour 11 am,
12, 2, 4, and 8 pm Sunday.  The station will attempt to monitor 144.465 MHz
at other times, but noise will be squelched.

. 2m SSB: On 144.200 MHz, or nearby as frequency availability permits.  This
is expected to be the primary station operation during mid-day hours (10

am-4 pm) and during evening operation (8-midnight).  However, scans of 6m at
50.200 MHz (or nearby as needed) will be conducted periodically as well
during these hours and during hours of apparent openings.

. 6m SSB: On 50.200 MHz, or nearby as frequency availability permits.   This

is expected to be the primary station operation during dusk hours (4pm-8pm)
on both Saturday and Sunday.  Quick scans of 2m will be conducted
periodically on 2m at 144.200 (or nearby) during this time.

. 0.7 m SSB: This band will be used to make contacts of opportunity or in
response to verbal agreements made on the primary bands of operation.

Preferred frequency will be 432.200 MHz, which will also be monitored as
much as possible.



An historic, attractive Commemorative K2AA/100 QSL cards will be available
soon by QSLing K2AA/100 (see QRZ.com for address for KV2R, QSL manager for
this contest) or to club members and guests at regular SJRA meetings.  See
also the news tab at www.sjra.org <http://www.sjra.org>  <http://www.sjra.org> .



Good Luck to Everyone!
