Hope everyone has a nice weekend and a lot of QSOs.  Please try to get 
on in the NAQP SSB and encourage some of the new HF ops with your QSOs 
and QSLs if they request them.  WY4N, KF4GTA, WW4LL, W4DD, W4BW and I 
will be M/2 in this contest from the NQ4I station signing W4AN, the SECC 
club call.  Please try to work us on all bands.  As M/2, we will be 
running on two bands all the time, so you should hear W4AN a lot.

I will probably see if I can find any NJ stations after I get home on 
Sunday and definitely plan to work the FP RFTB Sunday night.  Those of 
you who don't operate these QRP events are missing a lot of fun.  I have 
recently purchased a WM-2 QRP wattmeter so I can be sure about my power 
output at low levels.  Turns out that my guessing from higher range 
wattmeters was a little under 5 watts and I can increase about one watt 
with confidence with the WM-2 in the line.

73,  John, K4BAI.
