*The National Institute of Standards and Technology Radio Station WWV
*will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary in October 2019. The
oldest continuously operating radio station in the world deserves a
grand celebration.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the
Northern Colorado Amateur Radio Club (NCARC) have reached an agreement
and are working together to organize the event.
NIST will focus on the plans for Tuesday, October 1, when they will host
a recognition ceremony and an open house at the radio station north of
Fort Collins.
NCARC will operate a special event amateur radio station, call
sign*/WW0WWV/*, on the WWV property starting September 28 and going
24-hours a day through October 2. The goal is to make as many U.S. and
world-wide contacts during the 120-hour period as possible, using
multiple bands and multiple modes on at least 4 simultaneous
transmitters. The effort will require hundreds of volunteer operators.
