My present plans are to work the Thursday night practices and any 10M
stations I can hear Friday. Then the PQP, but part time. Full time for
four hours in the FISTS Sprint Saturday. Then some in the SKS on
Sunday. Of course, if I hear anyone in any of the other contests, I'll
give them a point too. Should be full-time in the NAQCC Sprint on
Tuesday night. In the SKS and the NAQCC, listen for me using my new
Vibroplex hand key on a chrome base purchased at Huntsville in August.
I made my first 160M QSO of the season last night, so hope to see many
of you on that band also.
Should be something interesting for almost everyone this weekend. Hope
everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. 73, John, K4BAI.
