There are several Special Event Stations on the air during March.  If you are unfamiliar with them they are set up to commemorate some event, historic site, birthday, whatever.  Some are quite interesting while others are more mundane.  Most of them have a nice certificate available for working them (although there is frequently a moderate fee associated with getting one, usually $1 to $5).  The ARRL keeps a list of them on their web site at This URL.  I was going to post the page with all of March on it but the search results had the same URL as the search page itself.  So here's what they say for March:

South West Idaho Amateur Radio Club, 332 West Dewey Ave, Nampa, ID 83686. What Are Those Giant Arrows Dotting the American Landscape? The arrows were part of a federal project to speed up communication across great distances. Transcontinental airmail service began in 1920, but even with this advancement over ground travel, service was slow. Pilots had no sophisticated instruments, so they couldn’t fly at night or in poor weather. The government built a path of 70-foot-long concrete arrows every few miles from coast to coast, each painted yellow and topped with a 51-foot steel tower that had a rotating beacon. Using the path, an airmail pilot needed only half the time to deliver a letter from New York to San Francisco, The SOUTH WEST IDAHO ARC will operate 14.327, 7.227, 3827 plus or minus traffic/qrm.. K7SWI will issue a Certificate and QSL to all requested please include SASE for QSL only and SASE with one green stamp for QSL and Certificate.
