K4BAI  1    1    2  SO QRP 5W  :01  GA
Actually did a lot of calling CQ, but heard no other activity in this, 
one popular, QRP contest.

This week's contests:

1.  NAQCC January Sprint.  Wednesday local, Thursday UTC 0130-0330.  80, 
40, 20 CW.  Exchange:  RST, SPC, NAQCC# or power output.  Double score 
for hand key.  1 1/2 score for bug.  Mults count only once.

2.  40M QRP Fox Hunt.  Thursday local, Friday UTC.  0200-0330.  5W 
maximum.  2 Foxes hiding between 7030 and 7050.  Work only the two 
Foxes.  One will be K0FRP.  AE5BH has bowed out and I don't yet know who 
will sub for him.  Exchange:  RST, SPC, Name, Power.

3.  SNS.  Believe there will be a LP NAQP Practice Slow Speed Session, 
0200-0215 UTC Friday (Thursday local) on 40 and 80M only.  Max speed: 
23 WPM.  Dupes OK after band change or one intervening QSO. Exchange: 
Both calls, #, Name, SPC.

4.  NAQP SSB Practice Sessions.  Both Thursday and Friday nights local, 
0330-0359 UTC.  Usual NAQP rules.  No dupes.  Exchange:  Name, SPC. 
100W maximum power

5.  LZ Open Contest.  04-12 UTC Saturday.  80 and 40 CW.  Exchange:  3 
digit serial # plus the last three digit serial # received.  Dupes OK 
after 30 minutes.

6.  UK DX Contest RTTY.  12Z Sat to 12Z Sun.  80-10M RTTY.  Exchange: 
RST + QSO # or UK Area.

7.  Hungarian DX Contest.  12Z Sat to 1159Z Sun.  160-10M.  Exchange: 
RS(T) + Hungarian County or Serial #.

8.  NAQP SSB.  18Z Sat to 06Z Sun.  100W Maximum.  12 hour maximum 
operation for single ops.  30 minute minimum off times.  Exchange:  Name 
+ SPC for North America and Hawaii.  Only Name required for other DX.

9.  ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes.  19Z Sat to 04Z Mon.  50 mHz and up. 
Exchange:  4 character grid square.  KY5R has been reporting E skip 
openings in the afternoons for the past week, so 6M could be fun.

Hope everyone has a good week and a lot of QSOs.  Hope to see you on 
many bands in NAQP SSB and maybe on 6M in ARRL VHF SS.  I should also be 
in the NAQP practice sessions and for a couple of hours or so in the 
Hungarian DX Contest.

73,

John, K4BAI.
