[SECC] Teams for NAQP RTTY July 18 Saturday

[John Laney]

Hello all:

Ben, WB2RHM, is going to register SECC teams for the NAQP RTTY contest 
on Saturday week, July 18.  Remember this contest runs from 2 PM to 2 AM 
EDT with a maximum of 10 hours for single ops.  Power is limited to 100W 
and there is also recognition for QRP scores.  The exchange is just Name 
plus State, Province, NA country, or "DX."  Mults are states, provinces, 
and NA countries and are counted once per band.  Therefore you may be 
asked to QSY to other bands or you may want to try to move a multiplier 
who calls you to another band where you don't have that multiplier.  The 
contest is on 80 through 10M RTTY.  Activity usually starts on the 
highest band open and moves down to the low bands after dark.  You may 
find some daytime activity on 40M and you can probably find activity on 
20M for most of the contest period.

Teams are of from two to five members.  You do not need to be a member 
of a particular club or live in a specific geographic area to be on a 
team.  There will be a listing of the teams and their members in the 
results.  The more teams there are, the more stations are likely to be 
QRV, and the more fun for all.

So, this is an invitation.  Please let Ben, WB2RHM, know if you can be 
QRV and would like to be on an SECC team.  Let him know approximately 
how much you can operate and whether you will be low power (100W or 
less) or QRP (5W or less).

Thanks and 73,

John, K4BAI.
