Hams are celebrating the Halloween season with different events that are very much in the spirit. In fact, if you believe in ghosts, listen for Wyoming Ghost Towns on the Air starting on October 31st through to November 10th. Stations will be using 1x1 callsigns W7A through W7W, and will be operating at a number of these old haunts.

In Pennsylvania, members of the Triple A Amateur Radio Association will breathe new life into the Evans City Cemetery by calling CQ as K2V starting on the 26th of October and continuing through Halloween night. This is a celebration of the film, "Night of the Living Dead," and this is the cemetery in the opening scenes of the original film. The club's other Halloween station, K2Q, will operate on the 30th and 31st of October near a bridge that also appears in the film.

Meanwhile, since the original Frankenstein monster was famously wireless - and very much a homebrew build from used parts - it seems only fitting that the Mid-Missouri Amateur Radio Club will be on the air from a community known as Frankenstein. Listen for the callsign WØO from the 20th of October through to the 1st of November.

Finally, there's the Zombie Shuffle which, true to its name, is full of slow-moving and low-power CW operators. They'll be calling "CQ Boo" on October 30th from 1500 to midnight, in each operator's local time zone. Any key is welcome except, of course, a skeleton key.
