The Whitman Amateur Radio Club has produced a special edition of its newsletter, The Spectrum, highlighting the club’s special event operation from the Plimoth Plantation November 25-26, 2006.
According to WARC President Bruce Hayden, NI1X, 26 WARC members along with four area hams helped set up and operate three HF and two 2-meter stations using portable antennas at the famous re-creation of the 17th century Pilgrim settlement and Wampanoag Indian homesite.
“The crew exchanged contacts with 243 other amateur radio operators in 35 states, 6 foreign countries and 2 Canadian provinces,” Hayden reports.
