LARC Special Event Station NØC
July 17-27, 2008
NØC
During the 2008 Cornhusker State Games, the Lincoln Amateur Radio Club will sponsor a special event station using the callsign NØC. This HF operation will be on the air July 17-27, 2008, from the LARC club station and from multiple game venues in and around Lincoln, Nebraska, celebrating the Cornhusker State Games and the club's strong volunteer spirit.
Helping with the Games!
The Lincoln Amateur Radio Club has been providing volunteer communications and logistics support for the Cornhusker State Games since the inauguration of the event in 1985. In 2008, more than 250 ham assignments will be filled in support of the expected 12,000 plus athletes participating in the games. For a list of available assignments, visit the signup page at:

Operating NØC!
If you would like to operate using the callsign NØC from the club station or from one of the sports venues using your own mobile HF radio, please contact Greg KTØK on the air or via email (link at the bottom of this page) for more information or to sign up for an available operating slot. Several control operators will be available to assist those who do not have HF privileges. Please note: You MUST sign up if you wish to use the NØC callsign!
Last Minute News for Operators!
If you have been authorized to operate either the club station or your own station using the special callsign NØC, please observe the following guidelines:
- Although you will be using the callsign NØC, you must identify using your station callsign at least every hour. If you are using the club station, identify as KØKKV at least once each hour.
- You must remain within the frequency bands available to your license class or those of a control operator who is physically present during your operation.
- Please operate on or near the frequencies listed below. That will help people find you.
- QSL info: announce that QSL requests should go to the KØKKV QSL manager KTØK with a standard-sized Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE). A special Cornhusker State Games NØC QSL card will be available.
- Talk up the Games! Tell others about the State Games, the Lincoln Amateur Radio Club, and what we do for the Games.
- Keep a log! Record the callsigns of all stations worked and the time, date, frequency and mode of each contact. Logs should be given/sent to KTØK after the special event operation. For those who do not have log books, a blank log page can be downloaded and printed for your use: Blank Log Page.
- Remember! You MUST be pre-authorized if you wish to use the special callsign NØC. Contact Greg KTØK for authorization or contact Barb KD7ITK if you wish to use the club station during this event.
