W1AW GOES ON THE ROAD FOR IARU WEEKEND
Remember last year's World Radiosport Team Championship, held as a "contest
within a contest" during the IARU HF World Championship? This year's running
of the IARU event lasts 24 hours, beginning at 1200 UTC July 12. While
there's nothing quite as exciting as a WRTC slated for this year, there are
a couple of interesting wrinkles.
The ARRL Headquarters station will be signing W1AW/7 from the station of
W7RM in the state of Washington, to give amateurs in the western states and
the Pacific a better chance at the ARRL multiplier. (The usual W1AW code
practice transmissions and bulletins will continue during the contest period
from ARRL Headquarters in Connecticut. W1AW will not be used for contest
contacts except from the Washington location.)
Additionally, an IARU Headquarters station, NU1AW, will debut from
Connecticut to hand out an additional IARU multiplier. All other
headquarters stations of IARU member societies are also multipliers for this
event. See how many you can collect! The complete rules are on page 100,
April 1997 QST. [QSLs for NU1AW go to IARU via W1AW - Tom]
