[LCC] New operating event for 2016

[Marsh Stewart]

The Red River National Wildlife Refuge is located in Bossier City, LA, just
across the Red River from Shreveport. It would be a great place to operate
from. Lots of wide open spaces and lots of wooded areas too.

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 National
<http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-national-parks-on-the-air-event-to-mark-natio
nal-park-service-centennial>  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 NPOTA
<file:///C:\DOCUME~1\Mark\LOCALS~1\Temp\npota.arrl.org>  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.
