There will be four operating positions running, hopefully for the entire 24 hour period, which begins at 1400 EDT Saturday. In addition to the two main stations, there is a VHF and a GOTA station. The GOTA (Get On The Air) station will use the W9RCA call and allow people interested in ham radio who haven't gotten a license, new hams, and hams not currently active, a chance to get on the air operate and at the same time add bonus points to the field day score. The to main HF stations and the VHF station will use the call W9JP.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>Consider operating the GOTA station!
