Special Events
From time to time GVARC will hold a Special Event, where our station will be on the air making contacts with other Hams from around the world. Each special event has its own unique QSL card. Many operators use these QSL cards for collector's items. Look forward to our next special event. Look for our call sign (WE7GV ) on QRZ.com. Also for N7GV)

On September 17th, the club did a special event at the Titan Missile Museum from 8 AM to 4 PM using the discone antenna and the club Icom 7300. The bands were pretty good and it was very busy across the 20 meter band most all day
