NRA's 141^th Birthday
Special Event Operation
November 17, 2012

The Yavapai Amateur Radio Club will operate a special event station 
November 17, 2012, in celebration of the NRA's 141^st birthday.  The 
station will operate from the Gunsite Academy's 2,000-acre campus north 
of Prescott, AZ.  The special event call sign will be K7NRA, an 
FCC-licensed amateur radio station. It will conduct operations on the 
following amateur frequencies from 1500Z to 2400Z.  The event will 
operate on 7.250, 14.050, 14.250 and 21.335 MHz.  A unique NRA/Gunsite 
certificate will be provided to those stations contacted during the 
event.  QSL to:

YARC,

PO Box 11994

Prescott, AZ 86304

All amateur stations, especially those operated by NRA members and 
Gunsite alumni, are urged to participate.

Directions:

Operations are at K7GST's (Buz Mills) shack in his large garage. Buz's 
address is 3300 West Ravengard Road.

Take Rt. 89 north from Prescott to Rolling Hills Rd. (at about the 335 
1/4 mile mark). Turn west on Rolling Hills Rd. and then turn right at 
the top of the rise (you'll see a small Gunsite sign with the raven on 
it) and follow the road to Gunsite.  After entering through the Gunsite 
gate, stay on the road and bear left (actually, straight ahead) instead 
of turning right into the Gunsite main facility when you come to it. 
Stay on this road to 3300 (well marked). Turn right at the 3300 marker 
following the lane to the gate. Press the call button at this gate and 
it will be opened (It may already be open.). The barn is under the big 
tower at the top of the hill. Drive through the gate and straight up the 
hill to the barn.

Be aware that the speed limit on Rolling Hills Rd. is only 25 mph and it 
is reported the police keep an eye on speeders. It is too easy to drive 
faster than that, as it is a rural paved road.
