This makes me wish I had something up and running to participate.


Hmmm... 24'th... maybe I can improvise something by then.

From the above link: "The Last Man Standing Amateur Radio Club is joining with a team of seasoned special-event operators around the United States to present a multi-band, multi-mode special event celebrating the prime-time network TV show for its positive and accurate portrayal of amateur radio."

What crap. I'm a fan of the show and I can only remember two episodes. One tiny scene on a Thanksgiving episode, and another episode that had Kyle and Mandy, especially Mandy, blathering away like CB radio, no call signs, unlicensed, etc.

Nevertheless, here is the (hard to find) true link to the event: http://gsbarc.org/lms/

This sucks!

I will be unable to get on the air during this entire special event due to being out of town.  Must find a local ham so I can borrow their station for a few minutes.

Anyone in the area of Boynton Beach?

Gotten a few more throughout the day. Apparently only the On Stage station will net a QSL card.

W6M, Joe in Neb  on 7.197 now.

Got 4 of them worked on 40 meters. Each had a pile-up but answered on the first call.

Edit, just nailed W6L (Joe) on the first try. He is still on 7.197. Got a 5/9 from him but he is weak, maybe 5/2 at best and the static noise is very intense due to thunderstorms in the area.

I'm registered on RemoteHams and can connect my IC-7300 for remote access if anyone wants to use it. Just let me know ahead of time and I'll hook it up. Also, can power up the amp and rotate the antenna but have to do it manually.

I was able to get 1,3, and 4 this afternoon. It was fun trying to squeeze in and get recognized.

Just need 5, 6 and 7. Gotten three bonus stations too.

Only thing that sucks is my call sign changed but QRZ hasn't updated so I keep getting called Everett.

Only need 5 and 7 for the main stations. Have gotten a couple of the bonus ones.

I could almost hear them on 20m CW, this afternoon.  But not quite.

7255 is hilarious right now. Theyre going by region and now they are arguing. Guy has a 1 call sign, but lives in Florida. So they are fighting it out cause he's calling in with the 4s.

If I read it correctly. That's all that gets a card. The rest are just certificates. But maybe I read it wrong.

Hey thanks! Got mine. I only made one contact with them. I had a hard enough time getting through.

The cert is cool.
