ABOUT THIS

This blog is about my activities on amateur radio from my retirement location in Qulin, MO. I am active on 80m thru 6m (with the exception of 60m) with 95+% utilizing the digital FT4 and FT8 modes (FTx)
I upload to LoTW and Club Log at the end of every session on the air. I QSL 100% for all non-W/VE QSO's via the bureau - which I do once a year. W/VE are replied to direct - NO SASE required but appreciated. I do not upload to eQSL or QRZ.com

ARRL 2026 - Year Long Special Event WAS

Yesterday evening I received the ARRL Letter email which had the info for their new year long operating event for 2026.  To wit -

  • Approval for a year-long celebration in 2026 to mark the semiquincentennial of the United States, including a commemorative ARRL US250 Worked All States award for contacts made during the year.
I will bet that it will be a LotW based event and that W1AW/x stations will be active.  Probably on the same vein as the VOTA event in 2024.  Will be looking for more info on this in the near future.
