ARLA/CLUSTER: Episodio 179 do HamRadioNow: A Christmas Truce

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

World War 1 started in 1914, 100 years ago, and continued for the next
five years. Radio amateurs in the Kansas City area are remembering
with Special Event station WW1USA from the National World War I Museum
at Liberty Memorial

The hams have chosen several specific events to honor each year by
setting up a Field Day style station and operating for the weekend
around each event from the Museum grounds.

The first was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which led
to the start of the war. The 100th anniversary of that event coincided
with Field Day 2014, and became the ham's inaugural event of the
operation. The next is coming December 27-28, remembering The
Christmas Truce, an unusual and spontaneous joint celebration of the
holiday by erstwhile enemies on the front lines on the first Christmas
of the war.

In this episode, two of the hams who have helped organize the Special
Event, Randy Schulze KD0HKD and Herb Fiddick NZ0F, tell Gary how it
got started and how it's going.
