[CQ-Contest] A request from N9GTC

[Pat Hoppe]

Hello,
To celebrate our college turning 98 years old this month, our student 
amateur radio club N9GTC is running a Special Events station.  The bulk 
of the club is made up of non-hams working on their technician license.  
(Most of the licensed club members graduated this past May.)  As the 
club adviser, I will be present during the Special Event operating time 
so that all of the club members can get on the air.  This is our 
opportunity as a contesting community to show a group of technician 
class (and soon to be technician class)  operators what great fun 
amateur radio is.

Our operating plans are;

Thursday, Oct 29, 1400Z-1800Z,  SSB, 21.275 14.275 7.275.

Friday, Oct 30, 1400Z-1800Z, CW, 21.080 14.080 7.080.

They asked if we could do cw as well.  I plan to load the exchanges in 
the keyer and "translate" for them.  Imagine that, some of them are 
interested in cw... 

If you have some time, please stop by the freq. and say hello to our 
students.  Imagine if you were a non-ham working on your license what an 
experience like this could do to boost your enthusiasm.  Some of the 
college's administration will be stopping by to participate in the event 
as well as they are big supporters of the club.

I hope you can stop by the frequency and say "hello".  We will send out 
a beautiful color certificate to all those that make it into the log.
