For the first time since 1929 the Air Race Classic will be tracked and reported via Amateur (HAM) Radio. The FCC has issued the operating station a special purpose call sign for the event. They will be operating as W1A during the day-time on 40 meters. At night they will be operating on 80 meters.
In conjunction with the Air Race Classic, W1A will also be participating in the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Field Day. Field Day is designed to give hams an opportunity to refine their emergency communication procedures. More detail on the Field Day can be found here:
