[SECC] June QRP Spartan Sprint

[John Laney]

Hello all:  See the announcement below.  This is a pretty well attended 
QRP event each month and can be a lot of fun.  I'll be on SO2R.  Hope to 
work a lot of you.  Some months, I don't get any GA, AL, or SC stations 
and, when I do, they are generally not SECC members other than K4AQ.

73,

John, K4BAI.

Spartan Sprint Contest Monday -

The June Spartan Sprint will be held on June 6, 2005 (which is our 
standard date--the first Monday of the month).  It's two hours of fun as 
you contact other QRP CW stations on 80, 40, 20, 15, and/or 10 meters.

The contest starts at 9 pm EDT, 8 pm CDT, 7 pm MDT, and 6 pm PDT and 
runs for two hours.  That's 0100-0300 UTC.

The Spartan Sprint exchange is RST - State - Power (e.g. 559 ME 5W).

Contest details and rules are at
www.arsqrp.com/ars/pages/spartan_sprints/ss_rules_new.html

We will continue our special recognition for those who operate outdoors. 
  If you operate outdoors, please note it in your Soapbox comments after 
the contest.

After the contest report your summary and score at the autolog at
www.ARSqrp.com/ars/ss_log.html

We have a couple of requests when entering your log information.  In 
your Soapbox comments after the contest, start by listing your radio and 
antenna.  We are also asking that you note your state, province, or 
country as part of your callsign when you fill out the autolog.  The 
easiest way to do this is to append that info to your callsign in the 
"Your Call" box of the autolog.  For example, NA8M in Maine would enter 
'NA8M-ME' in the "Your Call" box.

Good luck on Monday!
