19. CWTs every Wednesday. See #2 above.
The weekend is also the annual FOC (First Class Operators Club) Marathon
Weekend. This is a closed contest open to members only. It runs 2100Z
Friday until 2100Z Sunday. Exchange is RST + FOC#. Activity is usually
between about 020 and 035 kHz. No doubt activity will move to avoid any
QRM to K1N or their callers.
Hope everyone has a good week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. I will be
in the FOC Marathon and the NA Sprint CW. I'll probably call stations I
hear in the other contests and maybe get in the SKCC WES after the FOC
Marathon is over on Sunday. I really like the NAQCC QRP sprint that
will run Tuesday night. Give it a try and see if you can copy my fist on
a hand key.
I'm sending this out on Tuesday this week because I will be in Macon on
Wednesday. Plan to see Paul, N4PN, and his new loop receive antenna.
73, John, K4BAI.
