[CQ-Contest] THE BEST 4 HRS in Radio - A Must Read

[KL2A - Jon]

SSB SPRINT - THE 2nd GREATEST 4 HOURS IN RADIO (cw is next week!)

At 0000z the SSB Sprint contest will bring the bands to a ROAR!

Friends and familiar callsigns will fire up their radios and fill 20, 40, & 80m
with a frenzy of excitement.  Side by side; you will hear the scattered 
pile ups,
all with the desire to work WAS + DX in 4 hours!

WILL YOU HELP BY GETTING ON, EVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES ?

We need more help from: VE1, 2, 4, RI, ND, DE, SC, ALA, VE8, and DX!

You will hear signals from Barbados to Guatemala, PEI to W6 to KL7 / VY1,
and all in between, there is something for everyone.

COME ON!

HAVE A FEW MINUTES OF FUN, TURN ON THAT RADIO & FIND YOUR FRIENDS!
Call CQ and see what happens!

Even the most serious competitor will race the entire pack and still get 
back to
the family in time for "Gone with the Wind" and hot popcorn.

Remember, this contest was made with the little guy in mind, the city lot and
wires station can have a blast.  You'll be surprised the action you can create.

Please join us tonight at 0000z-0400z on 20, 40, & 80m.

A little more:

The hour where most struggle is 0200-0300 hour... on 20 & 40m.
If you can only get on for a short period of time, that would be the time.
