Rod, Congratulations! The PSC files are very organized, and hopefully in your possession to review by now.

[arrl-odv:26687] Birthday party for W1AW?
by G Widin 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

And, it would seem like W1AW's 80th could be a year-long *on the air event*. Every ham loves to work W1AW, and to get the card. A special "80-year anniversary" card wouldn't be too hard to dream up. There could even be a special commemorative version for a nominal charge (confirmed by LoTW???) I don't think we'd want to repeat the ordeal of operating W1AW portable from 50 states, but there sure could be some other promotion of W1AW on the air. 5-band W1AW anyone? CW, SSB, Digital? 73, Greg On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 1:06 PM, Tom Frenaye <frenaye(a)pcnet.com> wrote: > At 01:48 PM 8/17/2017, K5NZ wrote: > > And that does mean we're having a birthday party for W1AW in the near > future! 2018- 80! > > > http://www.arrl.org/inside-w1aw A 7-acre site was purchased in the sleepy > town of Newington, about 5 miles southwest of Brainard Field.
