From MORSE, in MORSE and for MORSE

[lw2dx]

This is a not a word game.

From MORSE city, in MORSE code and for Samuel MORSE, that's quite clear…!!! And what do I mean by that…??

On October 12/14 weekend the GACW
http://gacw.no-ip.org will be operating mostly CW and field day style, from MORSE, a small village located 250 kms west Buenos Aires.

This small town (1.500 population) was named MORSE in 1909 honoring Mr. Samuel Finley Morse. In those times the morse code was the only mean of communications for railways and the station named MORSE was the first and only building in that country area. Today a small town grew up along railway installations.

The GACW knows that in the USA there are several towns or cities named "MORSE" also, and is wondering if there is any posibility that, in the same weekend, US' hams or nearby clubs may operate from those places honoring Mr. Morse as we will do. We found MORSE's cities/towns in LA, TX and WI.

If you have any kind of information please email us to lw2dx@ciudad.com.ar

Any help will be greatly appreciated and may be we can manage an international operation.
