Several SE stations that probably have fun QSL cards or certs.
I hope they use eQSL because the world will be gone before snail mail gets me their card
BTW, just in case, I haven't been paying my bills for a couple weeks.  I'll do it Sunday if we're still around.

To celebrate this literally once in a lifetime event, Special Event Station N0D (Now Zero Days) will be activated on 10-80 meters and on several satellite passes for three days during and after(?) the end of the world. December 20; is a celebration of the end of the world. December 21, the day of destruction, we will be on the air as long as possible. December 22nd, that is a little iffy right now. Amateur radio stations around the crumbling globe are invited to contact N0D, who will be operating from a secret, undisclosed location. Our operating schedule may be a little erratic as destruction rains down upon us and as long as our antennas hold out. ....   QSL with SASE to KK5W. ....

Anyone hit any of the stations?  I'm down in a hole on the Massachusetts coast and only faintly heard one.  I never saw the W2E station on any spotter sites.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Monitored, but didn't work any...
