2008 Parke County Covered Bridge Festival Special Event
The Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Association, Inc., is hosting a series of special event stations for the 2008 Covered Bridge Festival in Parke County, Indiana. The call signs used will be: W9P, W9A, W9R, W9K, & W9E. Suggested operating frequencies are 3.870 MHz, 7.265 MHz, 14.250 MHz, 21.340 MHz, & 28.430 MHz.

The stations will be on the air during each day of the festival, which runs October 10, 2008, through October 19, 2008. Every day the call signs rotate through the bands being worked. This will give all amateurs the best chance to work all 5 stations, regardless of their location.
Upon request, stations will receive a QSL card from each special event call worked. In addition, they will receive a special certificate if they contact all 5 special event calls.

To request QSL cards and certificates, send your QSL card to:
