First. I am hoping to register a team or teams from SECC (or maybe SECC
and Friends) for the CW Open Contest this Saturday UTC date. There are
three separate four-hour sessions. Friday evening, our time, 0000-0359Z
Sat UTC date. 1200-1559Z Saturday morning our time. 2000-2359Z
Saturday afternoon/evening our time. CW. 160-10M. Exchange: QSO# and
Name. Start numbers over with each session. Mults for a session are
the number of unique calls worked.
Teams are for two-ten members. You don't need to be a member of a club
or to reside within any particular geographical area to be on a team.
So, if you are not committed to another team and can be QRV for CW Open
this Saturday, please let me know right away. Let me know how much you
intend to operate and what power level you will be running.
There are very nice awards available. See the webpage for more
information.
Thanks,
John, K4BAI.

160-10M CW. Exchange: Serial # + Name. Team competition of up to 10
members. E-mail K4BAI for a SECC team. I think N4PN may be registering
a GCG team or teams.
7. All Asia DX Contest, Phone. 48 hours of weekend. 80-10M SSB .
Exchange: RS + 2 digit age (or "00" for YLs).
8. Russian World Wide RTTY Contest. 24 hours of Saturday UTC. 80-10M

13. Tennessee QSO Party. 1800Z Sun to 0300Z Mon. 160-UHF. CW, Ph,
Dig. Exchange: RS(T) + SPC or TN county. There is a club aggregate
score competition, so be sure to put your club name in the Cabrillo
header of your log. SECC members spell it out: "SOUTH EAST CONTEST CLUB."
14. Michigan QRP Club Labor Day Sprint. 2300Z Monday (Labor Day) to
0300Z Tues. 160-6M CW. Exchange: RST + SPC + MiQRP # or power.
15. Adventure Radio Society Spartan Sprint. 0100-0300Z Tuesday (Monday
night local date). 80-10M CW. Exchange: RST, SPC, Power.
Yes these two will run at the same time during the last two hours of the
MiQRP Test. I usually operate the whole four hours and break the logs
into separate Cabrillo files to submit to the sponsors. The only
downside to it is that some of the QSOs you make in the first two hours
may refuse to work you again in the last two hours. If they will, they
will count for the Spartan Sprint and show as a dupe for the MiQRP Sprint.
16. Phone Fray. Every Tuesday night. 0230-0259Z (Wednesday UTC date).
15, 20, 40, 80, 160M SSB. 100W maximum power. Exchange: Name + SPC.
No QSY rule.
17. CWOps Club CWTs every Wednesday. See #1 above.
Hope everyone has a very good week and weekend with a lot of QSOs.
73, John, K4BAI.
