Objective: For amateurs in the US and Canada (and their possessions) to work as many amateur stations in as many different 2 degrees x 1 degree Maidenhead grid squares as possible using authorized frequencies above 50 MHz. Stations outside the US & Canada (and their possessions) may only work stations in the US (and its possessions) and Canada.
Lowe's Home Improvement Center is hosting the 2019 Washington County Emergency Preparedness event -- We are hoping for a great turnout by all of amateur radio operators, from ARA members and non-members alike.
