SUMMARY:Route 66 on the Air
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 \nRoute 66 On The Air is from 9/7 – 9/15. \nWe will meet 9/14 at Haikey Creek to setup our portable stations and join the crowd! \nTalk in is the 145.110 repeater. \nDon’t forget to purchase your 100th Anniversary coffee mugs\, shirts\, etc. \n \nBackground on “ The Mother Road”\nU.S. Highway 66 was established in 1926\, was the first major improvement to link the west coast with the nations heartland. \nThrough stories\, songs and TV shows\, the highway came to symbolize the spirit of the freedom of the open road\, inspiring many to see America. \nHowever\, the demise of Route 66 began in the 1950’s as the U.S. began it’s interstate highway system\, and the highway was officially decommissioned in 1986. Today\, small portions of the U.S. Highway 66 still exist in towns and rural areas in several states. \nBackground on Route 66 On The Air Special Event\nOriginally started by the Northern Arizona DX Association\, it was a way to allow amateur radio operators a fun way to “Relive the Ride.” They also can relive their own memories of Route 66\, and get to celebrate the highway’s rich history in making the U.S. what it is today. \nCitrus Belt Amateur Radio Club (CBARC) in San Bernardino\, CA took over the event a couple years later and has grown into one of the best special amateur radio events each year. \nAmateur radio clubs using special 1×1 callsigns operate from cities on or near the route from coast to coast. Hundreds of operators worldwide aim to contact as many radio operators as possible who would like to take part in this annual event.
