K4DLI expressed the hope that at least 3 SECC members would submit
scores for the club competition. W4UK is usually active in RTTY
contests. Perhaps he or another member hasn't reported a score yet, but
will submit one for SECC. ACG had at least three.

Foxes will be between 14050 and 14070 listening for QRP stations. They
will probably work split for the first part of the period. Last night I
was a Fox and received a very gratifying QSL from AE5BH who reported I
was his first FOX QSO and the first QSO he ever made operating split!
Exchange: RST, SPC, Name, power.

Name, SPC. One khz. QSY rule. Dupes OK after band change or one
intervening QSO.
4. FISTS Summer Sprint. Note unusual time (adopted to avoid conflict
with IARU). 00-04Z Sat (Friday night local). 100 watt power limit.
80-10M CW. Exchange: RST, SPC, Name, FISTS # or power. Summary sheet
available from website.

CW/Ph/Digital. Exchange: RS(T) + CO county or SPC. Website has
suggestions for logging programs and a reference to downloadable county
list, log sheet, and summary sheet. This is a new state QSO Party and
the sponsors appear to have it well organized. K4XU/M will be QRV in
many counties.
7. Flying Pigs QRP Club July Run for the Bacon. 01-03Z Mon (Sun night
local). 160-10M CW. 5W QRP max. Exchange: RST + SPC + FP member # or
power.
Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. The IARU
is one of the "biggies." I'm sure you remember that the WRTC events
have been run as a part of this contest in 1996, 2000, 2002, and 2006.
Let's be active on the air! 73, John, K4BAI.
