for ACG or K1ZZI for SECC immediately. Circle rules do not apply, so
anyone may join any team.
9. Straight Key Century Club Weekend Sprint. 24 hours of Sunday UTC.
160-6M CW. Use straight key or bug or other mechanical key. Exchange:
RST + Name + SPC + SKCC# or power.
10. Tuesday night 80M Fox Hunt. Same rules as for the Thursday fox
hunt on 40M except frequency range is 3550-3570 kHz. K4BAI will be one
of the two Foxes to be worked.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend and a lot of QSOs, particularly in the
NAQP CW. Remember the NAQP SSB is the next weekend with the same rules.
Teams will be entered for that one also, so let WA1FCN or K1ZZI know
if you can be on a SSB team.
Low band conditions have continued to be pretty good for DX and maybe
not so good for domestic contacts. High bands seem to close early
except for occasional Es. Let's hope for and look for some of that Es
this weekend. If someone (particularly a new mult) asks you to move to
another band, give it a try if it is at all feasible. In the NAQP
contests, you may work stations outside North America for QSO points
only. There are always some South American and European ops to be
worked. If your computer program insists on a QTH being entered in the
state/province space, use "DX." You can back the "DX" entries in the
Cabrillo file out after the contest or not. Off periods must be at
least 30 minutes (be careful and don't count 29 minutes as 30 minutes).
If your last QSO is at 1901, don't make another QSO before 1932.
73, John, K4BAI.
