*WX4NHC Will Be On The Air for Annual Communications Test*
Saturday, May 28th , 2022 from 9AM- 5 PM EDT ( 1300z- 2100z
14.325 MHz & 7.268 MHz depending on propagation

This is our 42nd year of public service at the National Hurricane 
Center  (NHC).

      The purpose of this event is to test WX4NHC Amateur Radio 
Equipment and Antennas at NHC as well as operator’s
home equipment, antennas and computers prior to this year’s hurricane 
season, which starts June 1st and runs
through November 30th. This event is good practice for ham radio 
operators worldwide to practice Amateur Radio
communications available during times of severe weather.
      We will be making brief contacts on many frequencies and modes, 
exchanging signal reports and basic weather data
exchange (sunny, rain, temperature, etc.) with any station in any location.

*Lewis and Clark Trail on the Air*
The Lewis and Clark Trail on the Air special event is scheduled for June 
4 - 19, 2022. The Clark County Amateur Radio Club
is sponsoring the inaugural event, and we hope to make it a yearly 
occurrence. There will be at least one club on the air in
each of the 16 states covered by the trail, and the clubs are as excited 
as we are about the event. The operating modes are
SSB phone, FM phone (2 meters only), CW, and FT8. Those that contact all 
16 states will receive the Expedition Partner
Certificate, and those that contact 1 - 15 states can receive the Trail 
Companion Certificate. Check the website, https://lctota.org,
for certificate examples and additional information. Our committee is 
working hard to make this a top-notch event. Be sure to
mark your calendars!
