Masonic Lodges on the Air (MLotA), an amateur radio special event, will be on
the air Saturday, September 24, 2022, from locations across the county. The
event is open to all amateur radio operators, and the idea for the event grew
out of the realization that many Freemasons also have a love for amateur radio.

The Fulton County Amateur Radio Club (FCARC) and the Fulton Lodge #248 in Ohio
first hosted the event in 2021. Because of its success, the event has now been
scheduled for the next 3 years.

The event will be operating K8BXQ from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM ET, using SSB only on
80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. Please honor all band plans. All contacts must
be in the phone portion of the bands. Stations may be contacted once on each
band.

Full contest rules and information can be found at cqmorelight.com/rules[1].

Bob Holstrom, KD2BKD, said that masons in New York and New Jersey will be
setting up stations at the historic museum grounds of The DeWint House, George
Washington's Headquarters in Tappan, New York. The property is owned and
operated by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New
York. The special event call sign for that location will be W2QX, operating
from 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM ET.

"Everyone is welcome to visit the historic DeWint house," said Holstrom. "The
home has been restored and admission is free."

Brace yourself. the conspiracy-theory minded hams (and there are a lot of them!) are going to nuts over this.
