Hello all, I know this isn't a lighthouse, but I'm just so excited about putting on the Keystone International Balloon Festival. I thought you would like to know about this nice event and some of the details as the proceeds go to charities.
First thing - this counts towards a WA3WSJ Nomad Award. The balloon festival is held at Lancaster, PA at a park in the heart of the PA Dutch country. There will be balloons there from numerous countries and ham radio will be there too! The festival runs from September 24-26. I will set up a special event station in the park Thursday afternoon on the 23rd. Event: Keystone International Balloon Festival Special Event Date: September 24-26 When: 9/23 2000utc to 9/26 2200utc Bands: 80m, 40m, 20m & 15m Modes: SSB, CW & PSK31 Freq.: 3.535/3.975; 7.035/7.070/7.275; 14.035/14.070/14.275; 21.035/21.375 QSL information Please qsl to WA3WSJ at the CBA. Here's the kicker - I have permission to use a PA Dutch County's Artist's artwork on the QSL card and certificate! Yes, the qsl cards and the certificate will have a PA Dutch Country theme. If you work the station on the 24th, 25th & 26, you can send for a gorgeous 8.5" x 11" photo certificate with the local artist's artwork on it! By the way, if you come out to the festival, why not operate the station an hour or two. I will have the following radio etc. there: RADIOS: Kenwood TS-570D Elecraft K2 Antennas: VBWFPA VBWFPA-80m Here's a link to the balloon festival's web site for more information. http://www.kibf.net 72/73, Edward R.
