We need to find someone in Mississippi. Mults will be important to the
effort. I worked Mal, W5XX in NAQP SSB. Anybody have Mal's email address?
I will work on another Alabama station. There are several in the SECC that
should be on but it never hurts to remind constantly.
Does anyone know any Carribean stations we can ask as well?
We will need to promote the activity on the local reflectors (SECC, TCG etc)
to get the guys who shy away from this contest to give it a go for at least
an hour on 40 or 80 meters. 20 or 30 extra guys on in 4 land would be nice.
I guess we all have our own strategy of what band to start on but do we want
to start on 40 or 20 (or both??)

going to try like heck to get to 300 Q's

> Purpose
> -------
> To win the CW Sprint team competition AND to place at least two teams in

>
> History & Info
> --------------
> Someone (I think N2NL or W4PA) suggested that we pool resources among the
> southern contest clubs to field a winning CW Sprint team. The Feburary
> 2002 CW Sprint will be our dry run. Although we W4's normally finish
> higher in September, we expect to fulfill our mission the first time out.
> We will arrange participants based on projected QSO totals.
>
> In the early 1980s there was a similar group organized called the Midwest
> Popguns. I can remember being 19 years old, being on team #4 of 4, and
> wanting nothing more in the world than to move up to team #3. I hope this
> effort will yield similar motivation for some here.

> Ranking
