    [h=2]********** NOTICE **********[/h] W9M Station… NOT part of Route 66 On The Air

    There is currently a station using the call sign of W9M that is operating in the same time frame as our event. W9M is NOT an official station of the Route 66 OnThe Air Special Event. If you work this station, NO credit will be given if requesting an official Route 66 On The Air certificate.
    Additionally, this station may provide a QSL card for their station. On QRZ.com they show a picture of their proposed QSL card with “Route 66 On The Air” printed on it. They have NOT been given permission to use that phrase since they are not an official station for our event and should not list it as such.
    We apologize if there has been confusion over this issue, you may send W9M an email by going to www.qrz.com and look up W9M.

    SPECIAL EVENT (Highway to a DX Party!). The Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club of San Bernardino, California, will once again host (probably one of the most fun special event activities) the 15th annual "Route 66 On The Air" special event between September 6-14th.

Through stories, songs, and TV shows, the highway came to symbolize the spirit of the freedom of the open road, inspiring many to see America.
