Commemorating the Navajo Code Talkers

The Navajo Amateur Radio Club is sponsoring Special Event station N7C. This is in honour of Arizona Code Talkers Day. For ham radio, this is actually a two-day event on August 13th and 14th.

For those not aware, the Code Talkers were members of the Navajo nation who took part in every assault the U.S. Marines conducted in the Pacific during World War 2.

They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native Navajo language. This was a code that the Japanese command could never break.

Now, in 2005, N7C will take to the air both days from 1400 U-T-C through 2400 U-T-C on 14.265 and 7.265. to honour their contribution during World War 2.

If you make contact, QSL with an SASE to Herb Goodluck, N7HG, Navajo Amateur Radio Club, P.O. Box 3611, Window Rock, Arizona, 86515.
