Foxes will be between 14050 and 14070 listening for QRP stations.  They 
will probably work split for the first part of the period.  Last night I 
was a Fox and received a very gratifying QSL from AE5BH who reported I 
was his first FOX QSO and the first QSO he ever made operating split! 
Exchange:  RST, SPC, Name, power.

3.  NCCC Ladder 7/13.  Thursday night local.  0230-0259Z Friday. 
160-20M CW low power (100 w max).  Exchange:  Both callsigns, QSO #, 
Name, SPC.  One khz. QSY rule.  Dupes OK after band change or one 
intervening QSO.

4.  FISTS Summer Sprint.  Note unusual time (adopted to avoid conflict 
with IARU).  00-04Z Sat (Friday night local).  100 watt power limit. 
80-10M CW.  Exchange:  RST, SPC, Name, FISTS # or power.  Summary sheet 
available from website.

CW/Ph/Digital.  Exchange:  RS(T) + CO county or SPC.  Website has 
suggestions for logging programs and a reference to downloadable county 
list, log sheet, and summary sheet.  This is a new state QSO Party and 
the sponsors appear to have it well organized.  K4XU/M will be QRV in 
many counties.

7.  Flying Pigs QRP Club July Run for the Bacon.  01-03Z Mon (Sun night 
local).  160-10M CW.  5W QRP max.  Exchange:  RST + SPC + FP member # or 
power.

Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs.  The IARU 
is one of the "biggies."  I'm sure you remember that the WRTC events 
have been run as a part of this contest in 1996, 2000, 2002, and 2006.

Let's be active on the air!  73, John, K4BAI.
