[NCC] CQWW 160 this weekend

[Nzharps at aol.com]

Hi NCC,

A short note to encourage everyone to get on this weekend during THE BEST 
160m contest going-- CQ WW 160.  (ok, ok ARRL runs a 160 contest too, but 
it's more like a single-band SS).  This weekend will have it all on Top Band. 
 Lots of activity and great DX participation.  Please get on and add to the 
fun.

**COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT**

I'll be driving out to Tuckerton, NJ tomorrow to operate with the W2GD crew 
in their annual attempt to win the USA Multi-op Championship.  They have a 
new location (they no longer operate at the USCG station in Sandy Hook, NJ) 
with a 300ft tower in or near a salt marsh.  The crew (about 6-10 guys) has 
been working very hard since November to erect new xmit antennas and rx 
beverages.  Please make it a point to stop by and work us.  

Due to the new xmit directional array (we will be beaming EU most of the time 
before 0800z), we may not be crushing s-meters out in the mid-west. WE WILL 
be listening on multiple radios in directions other than our xmit direction, 
so please call in. However don't be discouraged if we try to dig out EU while 
you are calling..it's 10pts vs 1pt, but please keep trying.  We can use all 
the Q's we can get. 

I'll have a full report when I get back next week. Hope to CU all on Top Band 
this weekend.

Ron, K8NZ
