America250 Presents

Join the Team — K4A Volunteer Muster Roll

The Chasing Cornwallis Challenge · June 27 – July 10, 2026

What is this?

K4A — America250 is an Amateur Radio Special Event run by the Chasing Cornwallis Challenge to honor the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — and the patriots who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to a nation not yet born. From June 27 to July 10, 2026, our volunteer operators put the special-event callsign K4A on the air so operators across the country and around the world can make contact and chase the Signer's Challenge.

What does a volunteer do?

As a K4A volunteer you operate as a Net Control Station (NCS) during scheduled activations — calling CQ as K4A, working the operators who answer, and logging each contact. You don't need special-event experience: we provide an NCS Field Guide and Quickstart, plus a guided practice activation before the event. You log your contacts in Liberty Log, our purpose-built K4A logging tool inside your personal Volunteer Dashboard. You choose your own bands, modes, and availability.

What happens after I apply?

Applying creates your free history.radio account and sends your application to Marc for a quick review. Once approved, you'll receive a confirming email that walks you through a practice activation step by step. There is no cost and no obligation — operate as much or as little as your schedule allows.
