Nov. 24 Operation Toy Train – W3A
Kutztown, PA – The East Penn Amateur Radio Club (W3LP) and the Alburtis Amateur Radio Club (K3HSR) are teaming up with the Allentown and Auburn Railroad for a heartwarming initiative, “Operation Toy Train.” This special event station, W3A, will be on air on November 24, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM local time.
Radio enthusiasts can join the operation on 20, 17, 10, 6, and 2 meters, transmitting from a functional train car on an active track. This unique mobile operation allows participants to communicate with the Operation Toy Train as it journeys along the Allentown and Auburn Railroad in Kutztown, Pennsylvania.
The train will make a special stop at the Kutztown Train Station from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM to collect toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. Each year, this initiative gathers over 30,000 toys, which are then distributed to underprivileged children by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation.
