From Barry, KB1TLR:
I'm trying to put a Titanic Special Event Station together for April 12, 13, & 14 at the National Seashore Visitors Center in Eastham. I have calls in and have filled out an application. We will be restricted in the hours that we can operate. I'm planning on operating on April 12-14 from 9 am until 4 pm EDT. Operations will continue into the early hours on April 15 when she sank. Those of us close enough to the operating site can finish up the event at home and send me the logging files.
I plan on setting up on the afternoon of the 11th, around 3 pm. I could use some help. I will use an off center dipole 80-10 m and an R5 which covers 10, 12, 15, 17 & 20 m. For radios, we will be using 2 stations, both ICOM 7300's with power supplies, tuners, linked computers, foot switches (or hand pushbuttons) and headsets. We will also have additional headsets available for extra loggers if necessary.
This was originally a CW operation, so I am especially looking for CW operators. SSB operators are always welcome. If you are CW operators you will need to supply your own keys or paddles.
Shifts each day will be 9-12, 12-2, & 2-4. I plan to be there all day each day. I will operate as needed and also be a "tour guide" as it is a school vacation week. We will have displays setup relating to the Titanic and the disaster. Take down will be after 4 pm on the 14th.
Contact Barry, KB1TLR, (w1mgycc@gmail.com) if you are interested in helping or operating during the event.
