The Collegiate Amateur Radio Group has organized a digital contest for clubs
located at colleges and universities for this Saturday. The event beings at
1800Z and goes until 2359Z on March 27. I know that it conflicts with WPX,
but then many school clubs probably are not worried about WPX.

If you hear a CQ for the 'CARA Sprint', 'Collegiate Contest' or something
close, please take time to work the school club. Be patient with the clubs,
for I am sure that many will never have been on a digital mode before.

Assuming I can find a few minutes while preparing for a dinner party at my
place, I hope to get on and pass out a few Q's using the University of
Michigan club call.

Attached below is the lead from the web page (www.qth.com/collegiate/)
announcing the operating event.
