This time of the year is a great time to plan a trip to the ARRL.  W1AW what a great Amateur Radio Station and venue to visit.  Call and make plans to come and see history and participate in one of our great American resource ... Amateur Radio.  Its great to get a group of Amateurs together and sign up to operate from the W1AW station.  I enjoyed my trip to W1AW years ago.  And plan to do it again.
