If you’re going to activate a county in the Salmon Run, please let a WWDXC officer know, or email the information to salmonrun@wwdxc.org, and we’ll add it to the list! Please tell us which days/hours, bands, and modes where people can find you. The Activate a County List is a way to inform hams around the world participating in the Salmon Run who to look for in the different Washington counties – and to let those of us who go out with mobile stations know which counties may not be covered. There is no requirement to operate specific bands or modes, and there is no exclusive reservation. This list and the map will be updated regularly in the 30 days preceding the contest.
