I plan to be QRV in the SSB NA Sprint. In addition to that, I'll try to
be QRV in the FISTS CW Sprint on Saturday afternoon. I usually have
some fun in the PACC event, mainly on CW. When time permits, I'll be in
the SKCC event on Sunday. Listen for the lousy hand key fist. I'll
call anyone I hear in the other contests. Usually there are some A-P
Sprint stations to work on 40. 20 is probably more speculative this
time of year.
Hope everyone has a good weekend and a lot of QSOs. Time to get excited
about ARRL DX CW the next weekend!
73,
John, K4BAI.
