Many others were active in CQ WW, but these are all the relevant scores 
I have been able to find to this time.

This Week's Contests:

Not too many, since this is a split weekend between October and November.

1.  NCCC Sprint Practices.  Slow speed SNS.  0200-0215Z Friday (Thursday 
night local).  Maximum power 100W.  Maximum speed 18 WPM.  Exchange: 
both calls, #, name, SPC.  20, 40, 80M CW.  No same band dupes.

                             NS Practice.  0230-0259Z Friday (Thursday 
night local).  Maximum power 100W.  Exchange:  both calls, #, name, SPC. 
  20, 40, 80, 160 CW.  Uncertain whether or not same band dupes will be 
allowed this week.  Next week will be a CW SS practice session.  Watch 
for the NCCC announcement which I will forward to the SECC and ACG 
reflectors as soon as I receive it.

2.  40M QRP Fox Hunt.  0100-0230Z Friday (Thursday night local).  Two 
foxes (N9NE and NG7Z) will be hiding between 7030 and 7050.  Work only 
the two foxes.  Exchange:  RST, SPC, Name, Power.  Run no more than 5W.

This is the first of a series that will run into the spring.  Same thing 
on Tuesday nights (local) between 3550 and 3570.   Times will stay as 
9:00 until 10:30 PM ET.  So, after we go to standard time, the Fox Hunts 
will be 0200 until 0330 UTC.  There are teams of up to 5 QRP hounds for 
each band series and the teams may be registered by the third week of 
the series.  I was an 80M fox last night and worked 64 QRP hounds in the 
90 minute session.

Thanks to WB4A, I have a Palstar antenna tuner and was able to use the 
88' CF zepp again last night after several weeks without its use.  So, 
for Thursday night's NCCC practice session, I should be able to set up 
the tuner with the zepp for 80M and that will allow a quick QSY to 160M 
with the other tuner and the "t" vertical made from the 80M inverted 
vee.  I will probably lose a little signal to the west on 80 with the 
zepp, but will pick up a little to the northeast.  The possibility of 
more mults on 160 and the drop off in rate at the end of the 30 minutes 
on 80 as everyone else goes to 160 should help make my scores more 
competitive.  As will SO2R, which I might be able to get back to work by 
this Thursday or next Thursday thanks to WB4A and W4IX for 
transportation of my newer MP and to W4OC for installing filters and 
doing mods.

3.  High Speed Club (HSC) Contest.  09-11Z and 15-17Z Sunday.  80-10M 
CW.  Maximum power 150W.  Exchange: RST + HSC# or RST and "NM."  I 
usually miss this contest because it falls on the first Sunday in 
November, which is usually SS CW weekend.  I am a member of HSC and hope 
to make a few contacts in the semi-annual club contest.  Please call if 
you hear me even if you are a non-member (NM).

4.  November Adventure Radio Society Spartan Sprint.  0200-0400Z Tuesday 
(9 to 11 PM Monday night local).  NOTE:  We return to Standard time this 
Sunday.  Change your clock ("fall back") so you won't be an hour early 
for church or other Sunday activities and so your logbook and computer 
logging programs will have the correct times.  80-10M CW, 5W maximum 
power.  Exchange:  RST, SPC, power.  Look for QSOs around 14060, 7030, 
7040, 3560.

Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend.  Wonderful weather predicted 
here tomorrow with a possibility of breaking the all time high record 
for that date.   Hope you can find some contest QSOs to make or 
otherwise some real good DX and ragchews.

73,

John, K4BAI.
