[SECC] Announcement: W4UAL Univ of AL Club Station 50 Year Special Event This Weekend

[John Laney]

Hi gang,
This month marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the University of Alabama Amateur Radio Club (W4UAL), and to celebrate, the UARC will have a special event station on the air this weekend.  We will be operating all day Saturday from outside on the quad from 7:15 AM to dusk and then again Sunday morning from the club station at Paty Hall.  Operating frequencies targeted will be 28.400, 21.300, 3.885, and 7.205, and if I'm at the mic, I'll be happy to QSY somewhere down the band to CW.  We're planning on some AM operation down on 3.885 on Saturday morning and late afternoon.  You might even catch our esteemed ACG treasurer on the air as well.  There will be a commemorative QSL available, and details are available on page 91 of the October QST.  QSL to the club station W4UAL.  We are hosting several of the original 1962 charter members down in Tuscaloosa, and we're all looking forward to a great weekend.

My apologies for this being slightly out of the contesting lane, but I thought there might be a few folks on the list who would be interested.  Please distribute the word far and wide, and we'd appreciate any spots while we're on the air.

Thanks & 73,
Mike Fanning, K4GU
President, UARC 1987-1990
RTR!
