Pluto Discovery 100th Anniversary Spesial Event


Year Four of the 100th Anniversary 10-Year Countdown Special Event was 10-18 February, 2024

 

 The Northern Arizona DX Association will be continuing with year four of the 10-year special event countdown to the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Pluto by Clyde Tompaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. This annual 9-day event is held each February through the 2030 anniversary. This year's event will take place February 10-18, 2024 (UTC).

 Club members will be operating from Lowell Observatory and their home QTHs using the special event callsign W7P

Special Note:
 Starting this year club members will be operating from their home QTH locations in Flagstaff and throughout the country, as well as from our communications trailer which will be located at Lowell Observatory. Members within the greater Flagstaff area will operate as W7P. Members who are outside the greater Flagstaff area will use the call W7P/P.

Again, this year features a new QSL card (see above). The annual cards are centered around Clyde Tombaugh, his discovery, the moons of Pluto, some of his early telescopes, lenses used, etc., with lots of great information.

 Club members will be operating on as many bands and modes as time and conditions permit.
