I will try to be QRV Friday night and Saturday part time in CW and Phone
contests, but will miss the first half, at least, of the Sprint and
won't be QRV on Sunday, so will miss all of TQP. Note that there is a
team competition in the TQP. Teams consist of five members of a club
either inside or outside the state. They do not need to be registered
in advance. SECC has won this club competition at least once. It would
be interesting if ACG and/or SECC entered teams or perhaps a join entry
if there aren't enough for separate teams. However, I'd think there
would be enough for a team from each club.
Hope everyone has a good week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. 73, John,
K4BAI.
