   ARLX013 ARRL Granted Use of W1????AW for League's Centennial   
      
   The FCC has authorized the Maxim Memorial Station W1AW to also use   
   the call sign W1????AW during 2014, the ARRL's centennial year.   
   Contacts made from the Maxim Memorial Station in Newington, from   
   regional Centennial conventions, and during the IARU HF Championship   
   will use W1????AW, with portable designators as appropriate. The "W1AW   
   WAS" operations throughout 2014 from each of the 50 states will use   
   W1AW, not W1????AW.   
      
   Bulletins and code practice transmissions during 2014 also will   
   still use W1AW. Contacts with W1????AW will be worth 100 points in the   
   ARRL Centennial QSO Party. To help kick off the ARRL Centennial,   
   special W1????AW activity will begin at 0500 UTC on January 1, 2014   
   (midnight in Newington), and will include participation in ARRL's   
   Straight Key Night; one CW station will use Hiram Percy Maxim's   
   straight key. Activity will continue throughout New Year's Day.
