THAT FINAL ITEM: LAST MAN STANDING GETS SPECIAL EVENT CALL
K6T
And finally this week, word from Last Man Standing Producer
John Amodeo, NN6JA, that the callsign K6T has been approved
for use for the shows special event operation to be held on
Sunday, October 28th. NN6JA says that K6T will take to the
air at approximately 9 a.m. Pacific with exact bands and
frequencies to be announced as the date gets closer. And
according to Amodeo, he wants this to be a fun event that
everyone can share in:
--
NN6JA: "We at the show are so excited about ham radio and
we have so much incredibly cool amateur radio here; not to
mention some 12 licensed amateur radio operators on the
staff; that we decided why not share our good fortune with
hams out around America and our ham (radio) fans in
particular and get on the air and talk directly to our ham
(radio) fans through all of our great gear.
"So we took a few minutes, put all of our antennas on the
roof so we could improve our range; tuned everything up; and
we are ready to go.
"So we are hoping everybody from around the country will
take a few minutes away from contesting, because that is a
big contest afternoon, and come on over (to where we are
operating) and call us up."
--
NN6JA says that the current plan is to operate on the High
Frequency, VHF and UHF bands as well as D-STAR, Echolink and
IRLP. This should make it possible for hams anywhere to
make contact with K6T.
--
NN6JA: "We are going to provide a large number of paths for
people to get in so we kind of feel that everyone in the
country should be able to find some path to get to our stage
(ham radio operation) to talk to our crew and the PAPA
members who are helping us out."
--
According to Amodeo, members of the LA based PAPA System
will assist the licensed operators who are part of the shows
the crew in running the event. They will use several PAPA
System repeaters to run its local and linked communications.
The operators will also be monitoring other linked repeater
systems from around the country as well.
As the day approaches further information will be posted on
Facebook at www.facebook.com/KA0XTT. Amodeo also says to
monitor @nn6ja on Twitter for the fastest updates.
Last Man Standing stars actor and comedian Tim Allen as Mike
Baxter, KA0XTT. The show airs on ABC.
