January 31—FEMARA, the ARRL-affiliated regional club that runs the Northeast HamXposition and the ARRL New England Division Convention, today announced that it has received its new, permanent club call sign: W1XPO. The club station trustee is Phil Temples, K9HI.
“Many folks abbreviate the name of our convention to “Expo” and so it’s a very appropriate choice of vanity call,” writes FEMARA President Mike Raisbeck, K1TWF.
In previous years, FEMARA has featured an HF station at the Convention using the special event call sign “W1A.” FEMARA can now choose to use W1A, W1XPO, or both going forward.
