There's Light Houses and Light Ships, Parks, Summits, Forts, Beaches, Museums, Libraries and Islands on the Air. What else has an On The Air moniker? (lemmy.radio)

Compete to make the most voice, CW, and digital contacts with other attendees for points and awards like "Worked All Toilets".

I once proposed a "toilets on the air" event where you took a QRP CW rig into a bathroom, sat on the toilet, and texted like it was 1912.

I think Breweries on the Air would be fun.

Extra points for CW after a few beers :D
