John has this one in his calendar for the week and with the 160m contest 
keeping you
up all night, you might be inclined to skip this Sprint.  It won't be 
high rates but turn
the power down to 10 watts pep for QRP SSB and join us on Sunday 3PM to 
6:59PM local.

Check out the QRP SSB frequencies at www.qrparci.org but basically they 
are X.285 ±
Of course some bands like 10M, this won't fit.  Be preared to move GA 
members from
band to band quickly by having at least 80 thru 15 all set, then jump 
band to band.

The exchange is RST GA (power or ARCI #)  - QRP is considered 10 w PEP 
but if that bothers you
you can run 100, 1000, or more.  That will spook the QRPers but if you 
have fun, well... :)

Rules at: http://www.qrparci.org/content/view/8344/118/  If you can only 
spend a few minutes, come in
around 4PM (local) on 14.285 and go from there.  Turn in scores to John 
of course.

72, jim/w4qo
