The Yavapai Amateur Radio Club (YARC) of Prescott, AZ, is planning to operate a special event station November 17, 2020, in celebration of the NRA’s 149th birthday. The special event station will operate from Gunsite Academy’s 2,000-acre campus in Paulden, AZ, north of Prescott. The special event call sign will be K7GST. Operations will be conducted on the following frequencies: 7.040, 7.250, 14.040, 14.250 and 21.335 MHz. The hours of operation will be from 1500 to 2400 UTC, except that CW operation will only be from 1900 to 2400 UTC due to station availability issues. KL7R will again be operating a satellite station.

All amateur stations, especially those operated by NRA members and Gunsite alumni, are urged to participate. A special certificate will be awarded to those stations making contact during the event. QSL with a 9 x 12 SASE to:
