SPECIAL EVENT STATION MARKING READING’s 275th BIRTHDAY NEARLY READY FOR SEPT. 23 LAUNCH ON HF, VHF BANDS
The W3BN Special Event Station launch date is Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. The time of operations will be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT on SSB on 10, 15, 20, 40 and 80 meters. At least three HF radios will be transmitting through an array of beams high atop towers as well as through a series of long wires (depending on the band, of course).
For those in the region who don’t have HF capability, a team of VHF operators will set up a portable operation atop Mt. Penn along Skyline Drive overlooking Reading on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023 at 1 p.m. EDT until at least 2 p.m. EST on 146.550 MHz. (simplex).
Each station making contact with W3BN qualifies for a colorful, commemorative certificate to mark the occasion. All a licensed operator has to do to get their certificate is to send log information about the contact – call sign, date, time, and band as well as their name - to [email protected] to receive the certificate via email.
