NEWINGTON, CT, Dec 22, 2006 -- Amateur Radio past, present and future will be the focus as the ARRL's "Hello" campaign concludes with on-the-air events Friday and Saturday, December 29 and 30.

Special event stations W100BO/W1F at Brant Rock -- sponsored by the Peconic Amateur Radio Club (PARC) with Steve Barreres, K2CX, as team leader -- and GB1FVT in Machrihanish -- with Duncan MacArthur, GM3TNT, heading that effort -- will epitomize Amateur Radio Past (Icom UK and Icom America are supplying equipment for both events). Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station W1AW at ARRL Headquarters will represent Amateur Radio Future. The station will be on the air with all voice modes for the event.

"In addition to the sites showing the past and future of radio, the transmission modes used will also reflect both traditional as well as new and emerging technologies," Pitts says. "The stations will be operating AM -- an early 20th-century mode -- and SSB and FM -- both later 20th-century modes. EchoLink and IRLP plus digital voice on HF will carry us into the 21st century." The special event will commence at 2000 UTC on Friday, December 29, and continue through the next 24 hours.

Great time to use those "special event" call signs. For the complete story and all the activities, go here:

And I thought ssb was used in the 20's for  tele phune werk.... and Maj. Armstrong  "invented"  FM in 1933....

Yep, another reason to make some noise on the bands that last weekend. Should be interesting. If ARRL fires up one of those Harris rigs, that's "heavy metal".
