W9CF KEVIN AZ and WX2S STEVE NJ.

19.  CWTs every Wednesday. See #2 above.

The weekend is also the annual FOC (First Class Operators Club) Marathon 
Weekend. This is a closed contest open to members only.  It runs 2100Z 
Friday until 2100Z Sunday.  Exchange is RST + FOC#.  Activity is usually 
between about 020 and 035 kHz.  No doubt activity will move to avoid any 
QRM to K1N or their callers.

Hope everyone has a good week and weekend and a lot of QSOs.  I will be 
in the FOC Marathon and the NA Sprint CW.  I'll probably call stations I 
hear in the other contests and maybe get in the SKCC WES after the FOC 
Marathon is over on Sunday.  I really like the NAQCC QRP sprint that 
will run Tuesday night. Give it a try and see if you can copy my fist on 
a hand key.

I'm sending this out on Tuesday this week because I will be in Macon on 
Wednesday.  Plan to see Paul, N4PN, and his new loop receive antenna.
73, John, K4BAI.
