[John Laney]

Hello all:

There are a number of contests this weekend.  I have picked out the ones 
you are most likely to run into or to be able to participate in.

NAQP CW.  Saturday 1/20 28 UTC to 06 UTC Sun.  Maximum of 10 of the 12 
hours.  160 - 10 M.  Maximum power 100 watts output.  Multipliers are 
PER BAND so a lot of QSYing can be expected.  We have some teams.  Sign 
up immediately with KU8E (ku8e at bellsouth.net) if you have not already 
done so and tell him if full time or part time.  Exchange for NA 
stations:  Name, SPC.

Contest.  Exchange for UK stations:  RS plus UK area code.  For non UK

and occasionally participated a little in this contest.  They do a lot 
of good esepcially with sight conservation.  48 hours 00 UTC 1/l0 to 24 
UTC 1/11.  160 - 10 M CW and SSB.  Exchange for lions:  RS(T), Serial #,

of QSOs.

Keep warm!
