[Mark Ketchell]

I know several of our members really enjoy visiting our parks, so 
hope this info comes in handy.

 From this weeks ARRL Contest Update:
If you enjoyed the ARRL Centennial operating activities, you'll 
likely flip over the upcoming 
<http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-national-parks-on-the-air-event-to-mark-national-park-service-centennial>National 
Parks on the Air event, which starts January 1, 2016. The year 2016 
is the 100th anniversary of the National Parks Service. If you like 
operating outside, setting up field-day style operations, you can 
activate National Parks, National Battlefields, Historic Sites, 
Memorials, Preserves, Reserves, Rivers, Seashores, National Scenic 
Trails, and the like. You'll be "chased" by those working you, and 
all scores will be reflected in an on-line 
<file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Mark/LOCALS~1/Temp/npota.arrl.org>NPOTA leader 
board based on the LotW data. Examining the list of qualifying 
locations, I'm betting there will be some that will be extremely rare 
due to access, size, and/or appropriateness.
