N0D - Special event station for Doomsday!

Tue Nov 20 17:30:22 CST 2012

There hasn't been much discussion about the best N0D antenna but the fractal
meta-material monopole in the configuration you suggest would be a good
choice. 

There is, however, widespread agreement that operating attire should include
protective EMF clothing items:

Good engineering measurements of the effectiveness are here in the
"Scientific basis: section:

But beware that the tin foil beanie is illegal. Of course it won't matter
after Doomsday!

Am I correct in thinking that the signal is best received by an aerial
shaped like an inverted pyramid?

N0D - - Special Event Station celebrating The End of the world!

That's right, the end is finally near.  According to one of the three Mayan
Calendars, the End of the world will occur on Dec 21, 2012. To celebrate
this literally once in a lifetime event, Special Event Station N0D (Now Zero
Days) will be activated on 10-80 meters and on several satellite passes for
three days during and after(?) the end of the world.   December 20; is a
celebration of the end of the world. December 21, the day of destruction, we
will be on the air as long as possible.  December 22nd, that is a little
iffy right now. 

Amateur radio stations around the crumbling globe are invited to contact
N0D, who will be operating from a secret, undisclosed location.   Our
operating schedule may be a little erratic as destruction rains down upon us
and as long as our antennas hold out.   Those who may be looking skyward for
the end of the world, N0D will be operating on several satellite passes.  

This will provide cosmic, maybe even intergalactic coverage for the end of
the world as we know it.  Our Doomsday Special Event has been picked up by
the Amsat News Service and will be carried in a future bulletin.

You can celebrate Doomsday by contacting N0D directly on the air.  Amateurs
can also become an official Doomsday station by registering on our website.
You will be given a registration number and the authority to identify
yourself as "Official Doomsday Station" followed by your Doomsday number.

QSL with SASE to KK5W.  If Doomsday actually does happen, we regret that a
QSL will not be possible so hold on to your SASE until the 22nd at least.
Check out our website for a preview of the N0D QSL card. 

Amateurs can also become an official Doomsday station by registering on our
website.  You will be given a registration number and the authority to
identify yourself as "Official Doomsday Station" followed by your Doomsday
number.  Official Doomsday stations will receive the Doomsday Station
Certificate.

It is not entirely clear exactly how it will happen. Will it be a
cataclysmic shift in the earth's magnetic field, Global Warming on steroids,
earthquakes, volcanoes floods, global thermonuclear war, meteor collision,
the 10 plagues of Egypt  UFO invasion who knows ? There are scientists,
soothsayers and philosophers on both sides of the question.  Either way it
will be an event worth remembering.. . .or maybe there will be no one left
to remember it?
