Hi, all.

I usually don't do a mass mailing like this, but this special event seemed
like it might be of interest for those of you who like to work special
events.  Obviously, if you try to work this one, be sure you have the HF
priveleges to do so legally.

Good luck, and best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ, Big Rapids, MI

On the weekend of Nov. 4th thru Nov. 7th, 2004 the Stu Rockafellow Amateur
Radio Society of Plymouth, Michigan will conduct a special event,
"Remembering the Edmund Fitzgerald". The "Fitz" went down with her crew on
November 10th, 1975 in a fierce storm in Lake Superior a few miles off
Whitefish Point. This is the 29th anniversary of that terrible loss.

We expect to start operations shortly after 1700 UTC Thursday Nov. 4 and
continue until 1700 UTC Sunday Nov. 7. We plan on 2 stations at the Point
and 2 stations at Paradise, Mi., 11 miles South of the Point. Primary target
frequencies are 3860, 7260, 14260 and 21360 kHz. Secondary frequencies are
18160 and 28360 kHz. Most operating will be on SSB, Check the special event
sections of the Nov. issues of QST, CQ and World Radio magazines.

of people look forward to this and we would really appericate your help.
