Going strong in his 14th year K4MIA, Michael is continuing a annual special event honoring our MIA's and POW's. In observance of National POW MIA Recognition Day, Sept 16th, K4MIA will be operating from Sept 10-18th. There are several stations operating in this special event including K4MIA/1 K4MIA/2 K4MIA/3 K4MIA/4 K4MIA/5 K4MIA/7 K4MIA/8 and K4MIA/KP4. K4MIA will be active himself from Florida, and even operating from a Vietnam era UH1H Huey Helicopter on Sept 16th, and an American Legion Post at times. Most modes are being included from SSB, CW, FT8 to Satellites, EME, PSK31, Hell Scriber, RTTY, and SSTV. You can get a special event QSL card by working any of the K4MIA stations and sending a SASE to K4MIA's address on QRZ.com.
I will trying to work him. As a veteran and grandson of a former MIA/KIA as well as a member of Rolling Thunder Inc Kentucky Chapter 5. Everything that we can do to remember and honor our POW*MIAs is needed. Demanding accountability for the over 82,000 US MIAs from our government can help to identify and bring home their remains to their loved ones. Educating the public is essential since nothing is taught about this issue. I may only have 10 meters but I am going to work it hard to get through.
Thank you for this special event. May we bring home all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our nation.
I am proud to have made contact with this station! Was wandering through 20M and heard the call and event. Stopped me dead in my tracks. Had to work this station. And like everyone else, blessings and prayers for our lost brothers and sisters, as well as all family members touched by those who sacrifice for this nation.
