This Week's Contests:

Remember that the 10-10 Club has one already running and going through 
the week and that there are special stations to work in the original 13 
colonies to celebrate Independence Day.  These latter stations are 
signing K2A - K2M.

1.  Straight Key Century Club European Sprint (SKS).  Thursday, July 4, 
1200-2100Z.  Work everyone, not just Europeans.  Use a mechanical key.
160-6M CW.  Exchange:  RST, Name, SPC, SKCC# or "None."  Note that in 
this one the mults are DXCC countries rather than SPC.  You can also 
operate beginning at 1845Z and as late as 2115Z if you don't send over 
12 WPM in these extra 30 minutes.  If you use them at 12 WPM, you 
increase your score and encourage newer and slower guys to get their 
feet wet.  Suggested frequencies:  7029, 14050, 21050, 28050.  Bonus 
points for working "C" stations once per contest and "T" stations once 
per contest and for every QSO with a specially designated station, who 
doesn't seem to have been designated yet, so I guess there won't be one.

2.  Michigan QRP Club July 4th Sprint.  2300Z Thursday through 0300Z 
Friday.  160-6M CW.  Exchange:  RST + SPC + MiQRP# or power.

Friday.  15, 20, 40, 80M RTTY.  100W Maximum power. One kHz QSY rule.

Friday.  15, 20, 40, 80, 160M CW.  100W maximum power.  One kHz QSY

8.  PODXS 070 Club 40M Firecracker Sprint.  2000 local Sat to 0200 local 
Sunday.  Maximum power 100W.  Exchange:  RST + SPC.  Most of you know 
how I feel about contests that are based on "local" time.

9.  DARC 10M Digital Contest.  1100Z to 1700Z Sunday.  10M RTTY, Amtor, 
Clover, PSK31, Pactor.  Exchange:  RST + serial #.

Hope everyone has a nice week, a nice (if not dry) Fourth, and a good 
weekend with a lot of QSOs.  Keep monitoring 6 meters.  Surely we will 
catch more openings this month.

73, John, K4BAI.
