I missed both 40M QRP Foxes last Thursday night, but got both 80 M QRP
Foxes Tuesday night.  K4PIC probably worked them both on Tuesday night 
too.  Most of that 8 hours in the Michigan QRP club contest was with the 
computer on repeat calling CQ on some open band while I did paperwork or 
read.  Rate is too slow to be enjoyable if that is all you do.

This weekend, there should be something for almost everybody.  I don't 
have time to summarize all the rules, but here is a sketchy preview.

1.  NAQCC 80 Meter QRP Sprint.  Wednesday night local, 0130-0330 UTC, 
Thursday.  80 M CW only.  Exchange:  Call, RST, Name, SPC.  Double your 
score for use of a hand key only and 1 1/2 times score for use of a bug 
only.

2.  UK DX RTTY Contest.  12Z Sat to 12Z Sunday.  80-10M RTTY.

3.  Hungarian DX Contest.  CW/SSB/Mixed.  12Z Sat to 12Z Sun.  160-10M. 
  Work anyone, but multipliers are Hungarian counties and member # of 
members of Hungarian DX Club.  Exchange:  RS(T) + serial # except for 
HA/HG stations, who sent RS(T) + county abbreviation (two letters) or 
HDXC member #.

4.  North American QSO Party, SSB.  18Z Sat to 06Z Sun.  Maximum of 10 
hours.  160-10 SSB.  100 watts maximum power.  Exchange:  Name + SPC or 
Name only for DX outside NA.  Multipliers count per band.

5.  ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes.  19Z Sat to 04Z Mon.  Exchange:  4 
character grid square.  I have found 6 meters open some years during 
this January contest.

Hope everyone has a good week and weekend and many QSOs with much fun.

73,


John, K4BAI.
