60 years ago, something crashed into the New Mexico desert and the word “Roswell” became part of our popular culture. The Weekend of July 7th, several hams from Albuquerque made the trek to the crash site to operate N5C, a special event station event commemorating the 60th anniversary of “The Crash at Corona” The picture above is K5CEC operating during the event (He’s the guy on the left). Here’s another one, and another one, and another one, and one more. Corona? We thought it was Roswell. Here’s the official report from K5CEC. Learn the story behind the story and get all the details about the special event station operations. Listen to our Podcast interview with Jay, WA5WHN.
