Topband: CQ160 CW - In Memory of Gene Walsh N2AA

[john at kk9a.com]

What a great way to honor your team member. Your 160m team has been around
longer than I thought, congratulations. A half century ago N2AA was one of
the most recognizable contest callsigns. Good luck in the CQ 160m contest!

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.
