This is a VOTA activation. VOTA Volunteers on the air is a new ARRL program where the W1AW callsign is moved throughout the nation. This week W1AW is in Idaho. Hence, W1AW/7. Guess who is playing W1AW? Yeah. Join me live while I handle small pileups, pick weak stations out of thin air and generally have a blast. I’ll be operating 10 and 20 meters and will announce my frequency so you can get W1AW in your logbook.
