FOC open invitation to all CW ops:
Join the FOC members for 24 hours of CW fun, making QSOs with FOC members
on all 6 HF
bands (WARC excluded) and VHF. This is an operating event (not a contest)
called
The Bill Windle QSO Party. The primary purpose is to encourage more CW
activity. Stations call CQ BW in any portion of the band from 015 to
040. Please respect the DX window on 160 meters.
Non-members contact FOC members. Contact each station once per band.
Exchange RST and name
(FOC members will also send their membership number, usually a three or
four digit number. It is encouraged to add a little chit chat
if you wish over and above the minimum exchange. The activity event will
run from 0000Z to 2359Z on June 11, 2005. No awards are involved, and no
reporting is
required, but if you are so inclined, send in your QSO total to KZ5D to be
listed. Non-members
send total number of QSOs with FOC members (count each QSO per band).
Members
will report the number of total QSOs/and separate FOC member QSOs. No logs
required, we use the "honor" system. Email totals only to KZ5D at aol.com

Object: FOC members - To make as many different Windle QSOs as
possible.

total FOC
member QSOs.
