Station at Smithsonian Going QRT after 32 Years 
*	07-30 - Source: ARRL 
*	After more than 30 years on the air from the nation's capital, the
Amateur Radio station at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of
American History, NN3SI, will become silent on Thursday, July 31. Originally
located in the Nations of Nations exhibit, the station first went on-the-air
in 1976 in celebration of the US Bicentennial. The FCC caught the patriotic
spirit, giving the station a temporary call sign -- NN3SI -- standing for
Nation of Nations, Smithsonian Institution. The Commission later made the
call sign allocation permanent.
