California clubs' Field Day operation to honor Reagan (Jun 10, 2004) -- On Field Day, the Ventura County Amateur Radio Society (VCARS) will join forces with the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) to operate as N6R. The special event call sign this year will commemorate President Ronald Reagan, who died June 5 at the age of 93. "We have been given approval to operate from the grounds of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library," said Pete Heins, N6ZE, a member of both clubs, He notes that 2004 marks the fourth year the two clubs have run an N6R ("Nancy 6 Ronnie") special event from the Reagan Library--the previous three dedicated to the former first family. "This Field Day will remember President Reagan," he said. He also notes that Ventura County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services, of which he's a member, will provide communication support during the Friday, June 11, Reagan motorcade from Naval Air Weapons Station Point Mugu to the Reagan Library, where the late former president will be buried in a private ceremony.
Bump......
Within two days of President Reagan's death we contacted the following event stations and spoke with amateur radio operators on board the battlesships USS Missouri, and the USS New Jersey in addition we were able to make contact with the national World War II memorial event station for the D-day event.
This event station would be a fantastic addition.
Thank you for posting this.
