I operate W0QQQ from Kansas State University for years. Yes, it took me a
few years to get through college because they had a better contest station
than what I had,
The "QQQ" call is reall neat on SSB, but a bear on CW. It is long and you
loose contacts with it. But, the novelty of the call is well worth having it.
I am asking the station trustee of the call for permission to use it as an
alumni. I will have to return to KSU and use it with thier station, but I
think I could do some damage with a th6dxx at 90 feet and a host of other
antennas. Hope to put it on this year in a contest.

Before and after the test, we will be using EA8/own call.
If someone needs EA8 on any band/mode, we accept skeds during
the evening ours.
Send request to: agaliana@alc.es
Thanks and good luck in the test!

We're getting close, here, but one must fully apply the wisdom of our
patron saint, Vicar Tanno, to this problem. When the blood is hot, when
the rate is high, the proper pronunciation is:
"Al-fAl-fAlfuh"
Followed by:
"Fai-nai-fai"
Genuflection may now begin...

Sorry for bandwidth, but I need to get in touch with W0UN, pronto. Any
other contesters have his coordinates?

In 89-90, I worked W0OOO in several contests (CW). Easy to send, hard
to remember where to take your finger off the Dah paddle! Anyone know
who that was? de KL7HF
