I'll be in the Thursday night events after the local radio club meeting.
On Friday afternoon, I am driving to W8JI's station for an
orientation on his all band contest station. I will spend Friday night
there and make a serious effort in the Russian DX Contest using the SECC
club call, W4AN, all bands CW only, in the General class bands. I hope
to work many SECC and ACG members and hope that many of you will
participate and enjoy this fun contest. The sponsors are asking for
exact frequencies in submitted logs, if possible, so hook up compter
control of the rig if you can. This is one of the big counters for the
next WRTC to be held near Moscow in 2010. I don't have much of a chance
to qualify, but will be giving it my best effort.
I have a tennis match back home Sunday afternoon and, if still
conscious, or if I wake up, will be in the FP RFTB QRP on Sunday night.
If I run into Va QSO Party stations, I will certainly give them a point.
That is a fun state QSO party, with a lot of activity on both CW and SSB.
Hope everyone has a good week and weekend. 73, John, K4BAI.
