[CQ-Contest] K1N DXpedition and CW Contests Next Weekend

[Jeff Clarke]

I'm hoping the K1N CW pileups die down some before next weekend.  Last night there were stations calling them all the way up to 7050.

There are two CW contests next weekend - The FOC Marathon and the NCJ CW Sprint that both have a lot of activity. There is also a RTTY contest which I remember from past Sprints that has quite a bit of activity. Also the MN QSO Party is going on. Space is going to be at a premium, especially on 40 CW.

Hopefully the K1N organizers much know this because K4UEE is a long time FOC member. I hope they can move further down the band on CW or maybe concentrate on SSB when those events are taking place.
