ARRL is granting each state two runs at being W1AW. In our case,
W1AW/KH6.
This is to help activate all 50 states for the special WAS250
certificate.

This has already begun with New York and Nebraska leading off during the
first week of this year as W1AW/2 and W1AW/0. Each week starts Wednesday
at 0000Z and ends the next Wednesday. See the whole list here:

Our weeks for activating W1AW/KH6 are March 18-24 and Aug 19-25.
For Guam, the weeks are March 11-17 and Dec 9-15.

This is a fun event and is open to all hams regardless of license level.
However, be sure to stay within your FCC frequency and mode allocations
for your license. It can be on any non-WARC band and any mode (CW,
Phone, Digital).

We need your help to get W1AW/KH6 active as much as possible on all
modes during our two weeks. First up is March 18-24. I have set up an
operating schedule with two hour shifts. You can see the spreadsheet
here:

To sign up, you need to contact your island coordinator or me.
Kauai: Bill, W2DK email: secretary at kauaiarc.org
Oahu: Kimo, KH7U email: kimochun at gmail.com
Maui: Alan AD6E email: ad6e at arrl.net
Hawaii: Lloyd KH6LC email: kh6lc at hotmail.com
Guam: Tim KH2XX email: eodkaboom at hotmail.com

Send an email to your coordinator requesting a specific date, time,
band, and mode. They will add you to the operating schedule. You may
request as many operating slots as you want.

Please read the operating guidelines.

You need to log all contacts with a computer that can provide a log in
ADIF and send it to me after the event.

Bottom line: Have fun!

Aloha, Alan AD6E / KH6TU
