[arrl-odv:22316] W100AW
by Doug Rehman 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

My thanks to K5RAV and N5AUS for activating W100AW yesterday. I managed to work them mobile while driving home from the airport in Daytona Beach. Their activation of W100AW on the weekend when the station would not ordinarily be in operation got me thinking. Would there be a possibility of activating W100AW portable from the regional Centennial Events? If so, perhaps state and section conventions could be considered as well so that those Divisions without a regional Centennial event could have an opportunity. If it is possible, I’d like to see the operation be under the auspices of the Division for a given event. If portable operation is possible, I’d anticipate utilizing a comm trailer in the tailgate area of Hamcation to put W100AW on the air on both HF and VHF, thereby giving Technicians an opportunity to work W100AW. Not having been around when the plans for W100AW were conceived, I don’t know if it was to be specifically restricted to the Maxim station without portable operation. If so, please disregard with my apologies. Thanks & 73, Doug Doug Rehman, K4AC Director Southeastern Division ARRL National Association of the Amateur Radio <http://www.arrlse.org> www.arrlse.org <http://www.facebook.com/arrlse> www.facebook.com/arrlse

Harold, I note that the site is selling merchandise as well. Will we be provided two polo shirts and one t-shirt as per Dayton, or is it on our own nickel/division chargeable? The site does zero out the convention fees, but the merchandise, including the centennial badge, is charged. The only pay option is credit card.
