Hi to All Amateur Radio Clubs in the Vicinity of Historic Harvey Houses.



Harvey Houses on the Air Special Event Stations will activate many of the
84 historic Harvey Houses each year on the second Saturday of September (in
2019, this is September 14).  It would be appreciated if you would bring
HHOTA to the attention of your members with the objective of getting a
HHOTA Special Event Station operating at each of these Harvey Houses.  Last
year there were seven HHOTA activations and this year we are expecting 15.



You probably know Fred Harvey built and operated Harvey House Hotels and
Restaurants (both commonly referred to as Harvey Houses) along western
railroads.  Oklahoma apparently had nine Harvey Houses:  Antlers, Francis,
Guthrie, Hugo, Purcell, Sapulpa, Snyder, Vinita and Waynoka.  There are
also a few close to the border in Kansas and Texas which Texas Hams might
consider activating.  HHOTA information is at www.qsl.net/vcara

which includes links to more information about Harvey Houses and the famous
Harvey Girls recruited as staff.



Thank you and 73,
