The 94th Anniversary is 10-18 February, 2024 (UTC)


Year Four of the 100th Anniversary 10-Year Countdown Special Event. -------------The 94th Anniversary is 10-18 February, 2024 (UTC)-----------


The Northern Arizona DX Association will be continuing with year four of the 10-year special event countdown to the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Pluto by Clyde Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. This annual 9-day event is held each February through the 2030 anniversary. This year's event will take place February 10-18, 2024 (UTC).

Club members will be operating from Lowell Observatory and their home QTHs using the special event callsign W7P. Again, this will feature a new QSL card. The annual cards have subjects centered around Clyde Tombaugh, his discovery, the moons of Pluto, some of his early telescopes, lenses used, etc., with lots of great information. 

The beautiful color certificate suitable for framing, with endorsement stickers four each year worked during the event, will be available. 

Doug Tombaugh (N3PDT), Clyde Tombaugh's nephew, will be operating during the event as W7P/0 and a contact with Dough or his team counts as an additional endorsement on the certificate that can be used as a wild card for any previous year. 

Club members will be operating on as many bands and modes as time and conditions permit. The annual QSL cards, the event certificate, and more can be found at www.nadxa.com
