| Kyle Bush wins 2015 Brickyard 400 NASCAR race |
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Amateur Radio Club (W9IMS) will conduct the third of its three 2016 special events, commemorating the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race, starting at midnight Indianapolis time (0400 UTC) Monday, July 18, and continuing through the afternoon of Sunday, July 24 (local time).
Amateur radio operators who
work W9IMS qualify for a special QSL card, as do SWLs who submit reception
reports. (The club also awards a certificate, but that requires QSOs during or
reception reports for all three 2016 W9IMS special events, including the Grand
Prix of Indianapolis and the Indianapolis 500 in May.)
Please include a SASE with
all QSL requests, which should be sent to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Amateur Radio Club, P.O. Box 30954, Indianapolis, IN 46230. For additional
information, including a list of scheduled operators, go to www.w9ims.org
W9IMS usually operates on
or near the following frequencies: 7.240, 14.245 and 18.140, and possibly 144.240
SSB and 146.52 simplex FM on the morning of race day, July 24. Check spots on
DX Summit – www.dxsummit.fi
