or Les Jamison (WR3X@juno.com) for

W3HEM On Air Special Events
D-Day 2007. W3HEM will operate as W2W
on frequencies of 7.244 and 14.244 (± QRM) MHz on Saturday, June 2 through
Sunday June 10, 2007.
W3HEM Contesting
Field Day 2007. W3HEM will operate as 3A in
the MDC section on Field Day, June 23rd and 24th, 2007.
We are currently planning on a 80/40 meter CW station,
a 80/40 meter phone station, a 20/15/10 meter phone/cw station, a V/UHF station
and a GOTA station. We will have an APRS and a SSTV demonstration, and will
hopefully handle traffic to/from W3AO again. We will be in the same location on
Gary Mauler’s excellent property at 7553 Wigley Drive in Jessup, MD. This
year we hope to not have the deluge of biblical proportions Saturday evening.
We’re shooting for 1000 QSOs and 5000 points.
Hamfests
HEMARC may operate an equipment-testing table at the FARFEST, if there
is one in 2007.
