15TH ANNUAL ROUTE 66 ON THE AIR Its time once again to Get Your Kicks On Route 66. This as the annual Route 66 on the Air operation takes place from September 6th to the 15th. Route 66 is the famed 2451 mile highway opened back in 1926 connecting Chicago, Illinois with Los Angeles, California. It was immortalized in the 1960s with the television show of the same name. With the introduction of the Interstate Highway System Route 66 began its decline and was eventually replaced by new super highways. On June 27, 1985 the government decertified the highway and U.S. 66 ceased to exist. Now in 2014, some twenty one special event stations located citys along the route will join together for the 15th annual Route 66 on the Air. Operations are planned for all bands using all modes. A certificate will be available to those who work at least one of these stations. Complete information is available on the Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club website at w6jbt.org.
