Tuning on 20 meters this morning looking for weather traffic related to the hurricane set to make landfall in Florida, I caught special event station W1A celebrating the 67th International Airstream Rally in Sedalia, Missouri:

Welcome to W1A. The purpose of this special event station is celebrating the 67th Annual International Rally of the Airstream Club International. We’re operating portable from the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia Missouri. We will have multiple operators and multiple radios.

The special event will be on the air from 5 October to 10 October 2024

The Amateur Radio Club was formed in 1963 by Earl Johnston W0ICV, as the “Airstream Net”. At that time its membership consisted of hams who owned Airstream travel trailers and were members of the trailer club which was formed by and named after Wally Byam, the originator of the Airstream travel trailer. The club has in recent years reorganized and expanded its operations in order to serve all amateurs interested in Recreational Vehicles and in travel.

The International RV Service Net is sponsored by the Wally Byam Caravan Club International Amateur Radio Club, WBCCI ARC, an intra-club of Airstream Club International.
