Camp Casey Special Event Ham Station

[5X]

Beginning sometime this coming Saturday
I will be setting up a Ham Radio station
at Camp Casey, or close by. Crawford Peace House
has given their go-ahead, so far, I have heard nothing
negative from the Camp. I will be using HF frequencies
probably 20 meters to allow for worldwide communication.
I will be operating with battery power with solar cell
backup.
In ham radio jargon, this is known as a special event station,
usually set up to honor an event or place. Only licensed ham
radio operators will be able to check in and talk, but I
can allow others to speak from my end as long as I am present.

If there are any other hams that would like to help out,
you are welcome. I have all the needed equipment, but I
don't know how long I can talk for a stretch.

Any ideas for what to call the station and help with
what to say to those that disagree would be welcome as well.

9. Look forward to it DemoTex,

and that will keep me from talking to RWWJs
for a while (right wing whack jobs)

I will post frequency range later, narrow it down at least.

I don't have any high frequency equipment anymore but if moral support is good for anything you have mine.

11. Hi all!

I'm 5x's wife and a ham, also. Will look forward to assisting with the station. Should be lots of fun if we can get some good contacts from all over the place.
