2024 Permission For Fun Day! Wed 27 Nov, 2024
Each year on the day before Thanksgiving break, our school holds a “Permission for Fun” day where teachers and students share their hobbies and interests and take part in fun and creative activities together.
This year we will be hosting an amateur radio station using the special event 1×1 callsign, W1B and having students try their hand at making contacts around the globe!
Control operator for the station is Brian, KC1OOH, a Chemistry/AP Environmental Science/Earth Sciences teacher at the school.
We will be operating voice on 10m SSB (possibly 17m, and 20m) depending on band conditions and propagation.
Some local VHF/UHF possible too.
No digital modes
