I will be making a showing in the ARRL RTTY contest but will not be a FT op
due to having lucked out and drawn Staff Duty for 1 January. Something tells
me that after 24 hours of being awake for Staff Duty then trying to do a 24
hour contest will result in nothing but bad things. Looking forward to
seeing those of you who are participating. Also looks like big Army has
decided to send me to school smack dab in the middle of the NAQP contest so
I will not make any claims towards being able to team up for NAQP but as
things get closer and I have a little more fidelity on what the schedule
will look like I may be able to work at least a part time postion -- having
someone in Oklahoma could be a great thing since I have a great spread for
the multis - work most all of the westcoast on 20/40/80 all day also work
HI/AK on 15/20/40/80m most every contest at some point so get the good
bonuses there -- so lets keep the fingers crossed that I am not stuck in
class those days..

2.  South Dakota QSO Party
W4UCZ  4  3  24  SOLP CW  __  GA  SECC  

I think the SD QSO Party sponsors made a serious mistake by not 
publishing any suggested frequencies.  I spent a good deal of time 
Saturday morning and early afternoon searching 40 and 20M for SD 
stations.  It would have helped to have known a frequency to start 
looking on each band and mode.  The smaller the ham population of the 
target area (state, in this case), the more important suggested 
frequencies become.


This Week's Contests:

1.  North American QRP CW Club Milliwatt Sprint.  Tonight local, 
0130-0230 UCT Thursday.  For awards, run one watt or less.  80, 40, 20M 
CW.   For awards, use simple wire antennas only (single element vericals 
are OK).  Exchange: RST, SPC, NAQCC# or state.  Look for me at one watt 
and see if you can hear me.

2.  QRP Fox Hunt, Thursday night local, 0200-0330Z Friday.  Use no more 
than 5 watts and work only the two foxes.  They will be hiding between 
7030 and 7050 kHz.  Exchange:  RST, SPC, Name, Power. Foxes will be 
N4SAM, Sam in AL and W9CF, Kevin in AZ.  Foxes usually start out 
listening split "up" or "d."

3.  NCCC NA Sprint Practice.  Thursday night local, 0230-0259Z, Friday.
Usual rules except use a mechanical, not electronic key.  This is to go 
along with Straight Key Night.  20, 40, 80, 160M.  100W maximum. One kHz 
QSY rule.  Exchange:  both calls, #, name, SPC.  This does not count for 
the ladder series, but is a "bonus" practice.

4.  NCCC Practices for ARRL RTTY Roundup.  I have previously forwarded 
these announcements to the reflectors and didn't keep a copy here at the 
office. I do recall that they are Thursday and Friday local dates and 
that one of them runs at excactly the same time as the CW practice 
Thursday night at 0230-0300Z Friday.

5.  ARRL Straight Key Night (SKN).  24 hours of Friday UCT.  Use a hand 
key or bug.  Send "SKN" instead of "RST" before the signal report.  CW 
ragchews.  Send ARRL a list of stations worked and your vote for the 
best fist heard (not necessarily worked) and your most interesting QSO.

6.  ARRL RTTY Round Up.  18Z Sat to 24Z Sun.  (maximum 24 hours). 
80-10M RTTY, Digital.  Exchange:  RST + S/P or Serial # for stations 
outside US and Canada.  Club competition.

7.  EUCW 160M Contest.  2000-2300Z Sat and 0400-0700Z Sun.  160M CW 
only.  Exchange:  RST + Name + Affiliated Club + member # (or "NM" for 
non member).  Affiliated clubs include FOC and FISTS.  Each station can 
be worked once per session.

8.  Kids Day Contest.  18-24Z Sun.  80 - 10M (including 17 and 12M) SSB 
plus two meter repeaters.  Exchange:  Name + Age + Favorite Color.

9.  80M QRP Fox Hunts.  Tuesday night.  Rules same as for 40M Thursday 
night Fox Hunts except frequencies are 3550-3570 kHz.  Scheduled foxes 
for Tuesday are NG7Z Paul in WA and W8RU Ron in MI.

Happpy New Year to all.  Hope everyone has a good week and a lot of 
QSOs.  Low frequency bands are pretty good right now.  Good idea to take 
advantage of the opportunity for good DX on those bands while it lasts.

73,  John, K4BAI.
