[SECC] Announcement April Spartan Sprint Monday Night

[John Laney]

The April Spartan Sprint will be held on April 3, 2006 (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.  That's 0100-0300 UTC.

PLEASE NOTE, Monday we will be on Daylight Saving Time.  What does this 
mean to you?  If you spring your clocks ahead on Sunday morning, the 
Sprint is still 9 to 11 (Eastern), 8 to 10 (Central), 7 to 9 (Mountain), 
and 6 to 8 (Pacific).  If you follow UTC the new time is 0100 to 0300 zulu.

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