CODXC Hosts W1AW/7 for ARRL Centennial QSO Party April 2-8, 2014 | The ARRL Centennial QSO Party is a year-long operating event that celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the American Radio Relay League. One of the main activities of the celebration is the activation of W1AW operating portable from each state and most US territories. The Central Oregon DX Club was invited by the ARRL to host W1AW/7 for the first of two weeks that the state of Oregon will be activated. Club members from the CODXC will be operating as W1AW/7 for seven days, from April 2 through April 8. The other Oregon week will be September 3-9, hosted by the Willamette Valley DX Club. Bob Norin W7YAQ is coordinating the April CODXC W1AW/7 operating schedule. CODXC members who are ARRL members may operate as W1AW/7 from their home stations during their assigned shifts. Contact Bob at w7yaq@arrl.net or 541-504-4183 (cell 541-550-0445) if you are interested in participating. Operating shifts will be assigned by W7YAQ in four-hour blocks by date/time/mode/band. We expect to have as many as six stations on the air simultaneously. Contacts with W1AW/7 (and other W1AW portable stations) count five points toward the Centennial Points Challenge, which is the accumulation of points from qualifying contacts made throughout 2014 (see ARRL Centennial QSO Party Points Table). |
