Route 66 On The Air

The Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club of San Bernardino, California will host the 9th Annual 'Route 66 On The Air' Special Event.

The operation includes 18 stations and two rovers operating in and around major cities along the old Route 66 from Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois.

Official station call designations will begin with W6A in Santa Monica and end with the letter assigned to the final operator taking part.

The rover stations will be on September 13th from 0001 UTC to 2400 UTC on September 21st. Frequencies will all be on or near those ending in the number 66 using all available modes.

QSL information is on the web at www.w6jbt.org. Just click on the words “Route 66 Event.” All you need to do is to answer their CQ to get your kicks along Route 66. And if only it were legal to play the music that goes along with those words.
