<em>Come chat with young hams, and join the meme madness!</em>
<br><br>
<p><em><strong>This event has passed. Page preserved for nostalgia.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Meme Appreciation Month</em> is an event organized by a bunch of <a class="hover-help" title="..really? (Licensed IDiot)">LID</a>s as <span style="color:red;"><del>an excuse to put rediculous callsigns on the air</del></span> <span style="color:green;"><em>a celebration of the funny internet pictures your parents don't understand</em></span> during the period from <strong>June 25<sup>th</sup></strong> to <strong>August 5<sup>th</sup></strong> 2022.</p>
<h2 id="who-asked">Who? <span class="small gray">..asked?</span></h2>
<p>During the course of the event, the following callsigns will be active on air: </p>

</ul>
<p>The actual operators of these calls may <span class="gray">(will)</span> rotate throughout the event in order to get the most out of our money <span class="gray"><em>(cries in $60 event callsign fees)</em></span>.</p>
<!-- *It is assumed that participating operators are members of our Discord server. If you are not, but would like your meme call in this list, contact [`memecalls@va3zza.com`](mailto:memecalls@va3zza.com)* -->
<h2 id="contacting-us">Contacting us</h2>
<p>Between the group of operators behind this event, we will keep the meme calls on air for most of the event, surely with enough dial spinning you too can add a meme call to your logbook.</p>

<p>For the duration of the event, <strong>VB3YEET</strong> will be active autonomously on APRS, listening for messages from near and far both via <em>144.39MHz</em> and APRS-IS.</p>
<p>Simply send a message to the SSID <code>VB3YEET</code>, wait for your automatic response, and enjoy your call being entered in the logbook within the week! All contacts through this method are marked as both FM and Digital in order to make LOtW happy. I (VA3ZZA) look forward to seeing a stupidly full logbook. Write something funny and I'll feature it in my post-event writeup.</p>
<h2 id="join-the-madness">Join the madness!</h2>
<p>This mess is a little more organized than it appears on the surface. Want to join the fun?</p>
