Topband: CQ160 CW - In Memory of Gene Walsh N2AA

[John Crovelli]

Our 160m CW Team has been operating together for over 35 years.  Gene Walsh, N2AA was an original member of the team.

This weekend, the Team will honor Gene's memory by using his call N2AA during the 2022 CQ160 CW (instead of W2GD).

Station preparations are nearly complete - we are expecting a major winter snow/wind storm as the contest begins.  Preparations for the storm are proceeding quickly today.  As many of you know our station is located on the shoreline of Barnegat Bay about 20 miles north of Atlantic City, NJ.  We expect a direct hit from this storm with as much as 50 cm of snow and high winds on the coast.

Best of luck to all of you who join us this weekend in the most intensely competitive of all amateur radio contests.

73,

John, W2GD/P40W/P44W
for the 160m CW Team
