Annual CES recap with Dave Arland
CES (consumer electronics show 2026)
The next Indianapolis Radio Club Parks On the Air operating event will be coming up on Saturday, February 21.
This one will be held with the cooperation of the WW2IND, USS Indianapolis Radio Room crew, at the Indiana War Memorial (IWM), in the replica USS Indianapolis radio room! The IWM is in the relatively rare POTA site US-10561, Indiana War Memorial Plaza National Historical Site. As usual, the plan is to have 2 HF radios on the air. We will be using the Indianapolis Radio Club callsign of W9JP, but anyone registered with the POTA system will get credit for contacts that they make. We will plan to be on the air by noon and go for a couple of hours or so. We will have our normal coffee, donuts, and water.
