Not precisely a contest announcement, but we WILL be participating, to 
the extent possible, in the CQWPX CW contest!

Please be advised that on Saturday, May, 30, between 1600Z and 2000Z, 4 
or more hams from the Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan will activate W8T 
as part of the Michigan Chapter, North Country Trails Association's 
National Trails Day Celebration.

We will have two or three HF stations on various bands and modes - 
primarily on CW and SSB.  We will self spot on QRPSpots.com and on the 
regular DX clusters, such as dxwatch.com.  Also, look for CW spots on 
the Reversebeacon.net, specifically by putting

in your browser.

We hope there will be many members of the public attending the 
celebration, guided walks along the trail, etc., who are interested in 
finding out about ham radio.  So, if you think about it, please look for 
us on the bands, and give us a shout.

We will have a special QSL available for those interested.  See the W8T 
QRZ page for details.  Also, shortly after I'll put all the QSO info 
into the Logbook of the World.   If I ever figure out e-QSL, I'll put 
the info there, also.

Hope to see as many Ops as possible on Saturday.
