W100AW – My Day being DX at W1AW

[n1ic]

Being from Connecticut I never, really appreciating being that closes the ARRL. I have always had connections from club lunches in Newington as well as being a Diamond Club contributor as I believe in the cause: The ARRL Diamond Club

I was visiting my dad at the VA in Rocky Hill, which the VA care he is getting right now is amazing and I am excited about that considering all the other news out there. I do not want to get off on a VA tangent, but the story starts there. After a hard day seeing a World War II Vet at 94, I wanted to get back to the airport and head back to Florida. I had some time so I decided to head over the league for a while.second (17 of 19)

To be on the safe side I emailed the league the night before to ensure they knew I was coming, but I found that over the years of operating it’s pretty easy to get in and of course it’s first come first serve.

Next Fri & Sat (June 13 & 14), the special events station W100AW/5 will be operating from the DFW HamCom. Hours are generally 8 AM - 6 PM. Should be a good chance for folks to contact the special station and perhaps even get one of the special QSL cards. I would expect that folks attending the hamfest will probably have the chance to operate the station as well.
