787 Dreamliner Rollout Special Event Station
July 8th, 2007

UPDATE:  Thank you to everyone who participated in the special event - it was a huge success, just as the 787 Dreamliner will be!!  We are in the process of creating the special event certificate/QSL and it will likely take several weeks to complete the process so please be patient.  Everyone who sent a QSL or certificate request will receive a certificate in return along with individual QSLs for the stations you worked.

UPDATE #2 (8 September ):  QSL activity is approximately 60% complete.  We have run short on some club QSL cards and so there may be some slight delays until we get a fresh supply of QSLs printed and delivered.

FINAL UPDATE (7 October):  All QSL activity has been completed for the 787 rollout special event

On July 8th, 2007, BEARONS will celebrate the rollout of Boeing's all-new passenger jet, the 787 Dreamliner.  There will also be other Boeing amateur radio clubs participating from various locations around the United States.

The Everett, WA. special event station will use the BEARONS callsign, W7FLY.
The St. Louis, MO. special event station will use the BEARS/0 callsign, WØMA.
The Kent, WA. special event station will use the BEARS/7 callsign, K7NWS
