Martian New Years special event station K3M (I'll be using my mighty (?) K-1)will operate tomorrow, 06 May 2017 from @1400-2000 UTC from Mars, PA. We will also be activating W3EXW DStar repeater during the Friday and Saturday event. We will be using REF063A. There will be PSA on REF063C to direct traffic to the REF063A reflector. Mars, PA is about 25 mi north of Pittsburgh, PA. The special event station is in conjunction with the Mars, PA "Martian New Year Festival"which features programs and exhibits from NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and the CarnegieScience Center. The phone ops plan to operate @55kHz up from the bottom of the phone band on 40 and 20whilst I'll be banging away @55 kHz up from the bottom of the CW portions of 40 and 20. If you are in the area, NHARC will be operating out of the Miniature RR Pavilion on the groundsof the Historical Society on the south side of town. Look for the red B&O caboose and 1888train station. We will be behind the train station. From the ARRL Contest Update: The North Hills Amateur Radio Club (NHARC) will be commemorating the Martian New Year with a special event station in Mars, PA, on May 6, 2017, as part of the event. The Martian New Year only happens every couple of years, Earth-time. Though the town features a 'mid century modern' looking gen-you-wine flying saucer, the activities on May 4 - May 6 are focused around STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) activities, and will include NASA participation. Look for their call, K3M, on 20 and 40 meter phone and CW. QSLs go to N2MA. (Tim, K3HX) Marvin may make an appearance!
