Minnesota Birthday Bash on the air today

Our friends in Stillwater are on the air.  I think 20 meters will be a
bit long today but I suspect many of us can snag a QSO on 40 meters.
Happy Birthday Minnesota!  Spread the word to your club members…

May 11, 1500Z-2100Z, W0M, Stillwater, MN. South East Metro Amateur
Radio Club. 7.250; 20 and 40 meters, voice, CW and FT8. Certificate.
Certificates will be available for download, from the website, after
the event . This is to commemorate Minnesota Statehood. May 11, 1858.
In December 1856, Henry M Rice brought forward two bills in Congress:
an enabling act that would allow Minnesota to form a state
constitution, and a railroad land grant bill. Rice’s enabling act
defined a state containing both prairie and forest lands. The state
was bounded on the South by Iowa, on the East by Wisconsin, on the
North by Canada, and on the West by the Red River of the North and the
Bois de Sioux River, Lake Traverse, Big Stone Lake, and then a line
extending due south to the Iowa border. Rice made this motion based on
Minnesota’s population growth. www.semarc.org
