OT - W9C Special Event Stn Needs a little help tomorrow (Saturday)

Tom Hammond-3
Greetings:

You may have read my posting (yesterday) regarding the Special Event
Station (W9C) which will be in operation to commemorate the 90th
Anniversary of the first transcontinental passing of a formal message
via radio. More info available at:

   http://www.newstribune.com/articles/2007/01/23/community/342com01.prt

Our station will start operating at 2000Z, 27 JAN 2007, on 14.040 MHz
(+/- QRM), using the callsign W9C. We will have relatives of the 18
year old operator (9ABD) who was the middle leg of this historic
event present at our station and one of them will initiate out first
CQ from W9C.

I'd really like to ensure that this initial CQ is met with a response
from another station... and I'm asking for some help to ensure that
this wish comes true.

If you have the time and inclination to help us out, please be listen
for us on (or near) 14.040 MHz at 2000Z tomorrow (Saturday) and
respond to your CQ.

Obviously, there's a chance that several stations may respond... we
will probably come back to the strongest caller, because that will be
the best 'show' for those present and observing the operation, BUT we
will make every effort to respond to ALL CALLERS, regardless of how
long it takes.

Thanks for your time and I hope we will be able to work you this
weekend from W9C.

73,

Tom   N0SS
