Reminder to Self for Next Year


The National Bigfoot Awareness Day Special Event Station(s) will hopefully be back for 2025.  Too late for me to get in on the fun this year, but I'll be watching for next, and this post will (hopefully) remind me.

The Radio Club of Tacoma cordially invites all amateur radio operators around the world to seek out the elusive "BIGFOOT" to celebrate National Sasquatch Awareness Day on October 20th! We are sure there will be multiple sightings of the BIGFOOT special event stations, but the challenge will be to contact ALL the special event stations W7B, W7I, W7G, W7F, W7O, (stations must work W7O at least twice on 2 different modes, bands, or Zulu days) and W7T to claim the coveted BIG STOMP on the BIGFOOT Certificate!  ANYONE can apply for the certificate - even if you only worked one of the stations.

Radio Club of Tacoma (W7DK) club members will be operating BIGFOOT callsigns starting on October 16th at 0000 Zulu, and the special event will end on October 21 at 2359 Zulu. Stations will be using CW, phone, FT8/FT-4, and RTTY modes, and will be operating on 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters at various times throughout each day.

Yeah, silly.  But it looks like fun.  To 2025!
