Here is a summary of rules for the semi-annual Bill Windle QSO Party 
sponsored by the First Class CW Operators Club (FOC) and open to all CW 
ops.  You may enjoy this even for the full 24 hours UTC of this 
Saturday, October 14.  You can participate before going to the picnic at 
NQ4I's if you are able to join us there.  This is a good chance for CW 
ops who might like to join FOC to meet FOC members and some will no 
doubt get a nomination for membership later.  73, John, K4BAI.

P.S.  If you hear "161" sent instead of "73," it just means 73 + 88 and 
includes the spouse of both ops in the greetings.

Hi Everyone,

This is a reminder about the October 14 Bill Windle QSO Party. Hope you 
all
are planning to be QRV at least some of the time. Great opportunity to 
meet a
lot of the gang on the bands.

In case you need info on the rules, here goes:


Join us 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.
Non-members contact FOC members. Contact each station once per  band. 
Exchange RST and
name (FOC members will also send their membership  number). Stations are
encouraged to also engage in mini-chats, if they so  desire. The 
activity event
will run from 0000Z to 2359Z on Saturday, October 14,  2006. No awards 
and no
reporting required, but if you are so inclined, send in  your QSO total 
to be
listed. Non-members send total number of QSOs with FOC  members (counted 
once
per band). Members will report the number of total  QSOs/and total FOC QSOs
(counted once per band). No logs required, we use the  ?honor? system. 
Email
totals only to _KZ5D at aol.com_ (mailto:KZ5D at aol.com)  by October 21, 
2006. All
non-member stations reporting  will receive a copy of the results via 
email.. List
will be posted on the FOC  website and on contesting.com
Please  encourage non-members to get on and enjoy the  fun!
See you  Saturday.
161,
Art  KZ5D
