I know a lot more of you were active in SKN activities, but Marc is the 
only one who reported his results to me.  K4EOR was QRV as was K4BAI, 
but I didn't make many QSOs due to a skin problem that made sending with 
the straight key painful.  Speaking of straight key activities, the SKCC 
is celebrating its anniversary right now by having the special event 
call sign K3Y activated by different stations signing K3Y/1 to K3Y/0 and 
I think also K3Y/KH6 and K3Y/KL7.  I think there is some recognition to 
working all the call area K3Y stations.  At any rate, there is a lot of 
activity around the SKCC frequencies these days.

Last night I was the 80M QRP Fox and worked 72 QRP hounds in 90 minutes. 
  GA stations worked were K4PIC, WA4ILO, AD4J, AE4Y, K4EOR, K1ZZI.  AL: 
  AJ4AY, N4SAM (of course the other Fox, AB9CA is in AL).  SC: K4LY. 
Thanks for the QSOs guys.

mini-tests are a good opportunity to put your call out and maybe get an 
invitation to join the club.  See the webpage for information on the club.

Hope everyone has a good week and weekend and a lot of QSOs.  I am 
planning on a full time effort in NAQP CW, which is a fun contest.
I will register the SECC teams late Friday, so let me know if you want 
to be on a team.  If something happens and you must miss it, let me know 
as I can re-register teams before the contest starts.

73, John, K4BAI.
