All,

In a recent issue of The ARRL Letter I noticed this:

Announcements

To raise awareness of World Autism Acceptance Week (March 27 – April 2), a team of international amateur radio operators will operate eight special event stations from March 25 through April 2, 2023.  According to the Center for Disease Control’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects about 1 in 44 children.  The special event stations are sponsored by the Ten Mile River Scout Museum Amateur Radio Club, W2TMR, in Narrowsburg, New York.  Event stations W2A, GB2AA, GB2AAW, GB0AAW, 8A0RARI, 4X0AAW, HI0AUT, and S76A will be joined by more than 40 operators across the US and Puerto Rico and two dozen international operators from 19 countries on six continents.  More information and QSL cards are available from the Ten Mile River Scout Museum Amateur Radio Club, W2TMR, at QRZ.com.

In acknowledgement that several of our Club members have children and/or grandchildren with autism, I wanted to make a post pointing everyone to this special event.
