[Steve Dyer via Mldxcc]

The ARRL Centennial QSO Party comes back to California for the second and final round starting today, 9/30, at 1700 local.

For the next week, 40 stations across California will be on the air all modes and all bands for over one thousand hours of planned operation. At times over 10 stations will be on the air concurrently covering multiple bands and modes!


Special events planned during the week:


PSK Operation

The Hollywood Hills QRP Contest Club will operate from W6AQ
 exclusively in PSK starting Thursday, 10/2, local to Sunday, 10/5, local. Look for them primarily on 20 and 40. Thanks to K6YR for coordinating this operation. 


VHF Operation

The W6TV VHF Contest Club will activate W1AW/6 on 10 meters and above the evening of 10/2 from 0000z to 0400z (10/1 1700 to 2100 local time). The team will travel to DM06 at 3,000 feet elevation, about 45 miles east of Fresno, California. Look for them all modes on 6m, 2m, 220, 432, 446.00 FM,  902, and 1.2g.  Standard simplex frequencies will be used, except for 146.52. LOS satellite contacts are a possibility, more information available as passes are determined. To facilitate long distance contacts from DM06, the team will listen North on the hour and South on the half hour. Don't hesitate to ask for band
 moves! Thanks to KM6I for coordinating this major effort.


W1AW/6 and the California QSO Party
