The special event call has been obtained by Wesley Wilkinson, W7WES, for the dates of August 18-28 to honor the 100th Birthday of Philo T. Farnsworth, and September 1-11, 2006 to honor the 79th Anniversary of the invention of the Electronic Television.

You may operate from your own QTH using the call and are requested to send logs with full QSO information to Wes at his home address: 7363 Galaxy Hill Road, West Jordan, UT, 84084.

An 8 1/2" x 11" certificate is available with SASE. Regular QSLs are also available.

To reduce any possible confusion, please post to the UDXAList the times and frequencies you plan to use. Duplicate operations on the same band/mode would be a problem.

A biography of Philo T. Farnsworth from his Hall of Fame profile is found below.
