Welcome to our 112th Anniversary Special Event
July 26th, 2014
Crater Lake National Park
W7C
This is the third year our special event will highlight a truly wonderful place nestled in the Cascade Mountains of southern Oregon. This summer the Oregon Tualatin Valley Amateur Radio Club will have three operating locations around the caldera upper rim at about 8000 foot elevation. Our operation schedule will be 7:30 am to 8:30 pm PDT (14:30 to 3:30 UTC) from July 26th to July 27th.
The 6, 10, 15, 17, and 20 meter bands will be used during daylight hours and 40 meters at grey line. Listen in the mid SSB part of the bands for W7C.
Crater Lake has long attracted the wonder and admiration of people all over the world. The interaction of humans with the area is traceable at least as far back as the eruption of Mount Mazama. Its depth of 1,943 feet (592 meters) makes it the deepest lake in the United States and the ninth deepest in the world. Its fresh water is some of the clearest found anywhere. Founded May 22nd, 1902, Crater Lake National Park seeks to preserve these natural and cultural resources.
You say you love snow? Fun fact: Crater Lake gets 500 inches (42 feet) of snow per year!
