If you aspire be become a FOC member checkout the Bill Widdle QSO Party. It
is tonight starting at 0000Z and goes on for 24 hours. FOC stations will call
"CQ BW" . The exchange is RST NAME FOC # for FOC members and RST NAME for
non-members. I think John, K4BAI, might of mentioned this in his weekly
contest summary but you will not find the rules or any mention of it on most
of the contest calendars. From listening to the FOC Marathons in the past
this could be a fun operating event - especially if you like CW. See
http://www.firstclasscw.org.uk/ for the rules.
73, Jeff KU8E
P.S. Bill Widdle was G8VG, one of the founders of the FOC.
