Subject: Retiring the Sparks at CAMSPAC - Frequencies and QSL Information


To "watch" tomorrow's Retiring the Sparks special event in realtime, click
here:
        www.uscg.mil/camspac/qsl.asp
(the permissions on this site will only be active from 0600 PDT 1 July until
1800 PDT 2 July, so you'll receive an error message if you visit the site
before tomorrow morning).

This web page is a front end to a database that will collect QSL's
(acknowledgments of receipt) from stations around the world that hear our
commemorative Morse Code broadcast.  Tune up your receiver and listen for
us; if you hear it, please let us know by entering your QSL here. We hope to
see several hundred QSL's show up on the website by the end of the
afternoon, from locations near and far!  We hope you can hear our CW
emission on 8 megs, but if you can't, then try one of the four voice freqs
listed below.  Please note the important update on the frequencies where
we'll be transmitting:

MF:   448 and 500 kHz (This is a correction from the previous announcement,
which read 488)
HF:    CW on 8574 kHz
         RATT on 9373 kHz
         voice on following four freqs: 4426, 8764, 13089, 17314

Several stations will be listening on these freq's, and then QSL'ing on
their own authorized freq's:
8650        NOJ (CG CommSta Kodiak, AK)
426          KPH
8642        KPH
6477.5     KPH
12808.5   KPH
17016.8   KPH
8445.5     WLO/KLB
12660      WLO/KLB

Finally, we've been getting great help spreading the word about this from
several communities of telecomms professionals and amateurs.  If you're a
member of any interested group, please forward this announcement so that
they may join us tomorrow morning.  Here's an article that appeared on
military.com; you can read it by either following this link or opening the
email below.
