'LAST MAN STANDING' BUT FIRST ON DSTAR

JIM/ANCHOR: Great news if you're a fan of TV's "Last Man Standing" - and
also a fan of DSTAR - you will get to enjoy both on the air on Tuesday,
Oct. 11. That's one of the nights the crew shoots the ABC-TV sitcom and
two special guests, Ed Woodrick, WA4YIH, and Amy Woodrick, KE4IKF, will
be visiting KA6LMS, the set in Studio City, California, during the crew's
dinner break. Ed and Amy will be on DSTAR via Reflector 30C while seated
in the office of the show's main character, Mike Baxter, KA0XTT, played
by Tim Allen. So be listening: The fun should last an hour, and start at
about 2245 UTC.

CW CLUB LOOKING FOR ANNIVERSARY OPERATORS

JIM/ANCHOR: The North American QRP CW Club needs help for its on-air
anniversary event. We hear more from Newsline's Bobby Best, WX4ALA.

BOBBY: It's not quite a distress call being sent in CW but a definite
call for help is being transmitted by the North American QRP CW Club.
The group is planning its anniversary event on Oct. 10th through Oct.
16th, and has learnt that a number of the volunteer operators had to
back out of their commitments, due to health matters and schedule
conflicts. So they're hoping a few more amateurs, particularly in
District 5, 6 and 9, will want to step forward, paddles at the ready,
to work as N5A, N6A, and N9A.

Operating schedules are flexible, according to the group's president,
Paul N8XMS, and even if an operator can give only an hour or two during
the week, that will suit the game plan fine. Paul also noted that hams
must be members of the NAQCC. They can use their regular gear operating
QRP in CW all week, and submit logs and summary information later.

To get details and contact information, visit naqcc.info
