I will have a tennis match to play on Saturday afternoon and other
family and church obligations on the weekend, but will be in CQP as much
as possible and help the SECC club aggregate score. This is a really
fun contest. There are enough low power and other CA stations so that
calling "CQ Calif" can actually be productive at times even if you don't
have a really big signal on the west coast. I am also looking forward
to the Spartan Sprint QRP contest on Sunday night.
Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. 73, John,
K4BAI.
