Last weekend was a light contest weekend because it was the fifth full 
weekend in July.  The IOTA contest always drops back to the last weekend 
and not the fourth weekend.  That opened up the fourth weekend for the 
new Scottish DX Contest, but it wasn't very well attended even for a 
first year.

This Week's Contests:

1.  CWOps Club CWT Mini-tests.  Every Wednesday.  Three separate 
one-hour mini-tests.  1300Z, 1900Z, 0300Z (Thursday UTC date).  160-10M 
CW.  Exchange:  Name + CWOps # or SPC.  Look around 028 to 045 kHz on 
each band, lower on 160M.  Activity is really picking up in these 
contest among CWOps members and non-members.  The top claimed score from 
1300Z made 158 QSOs in one hour.  Of course the top few were SO2R.

2.  QRP Fox Hunts.  0200-0330Z Friday (Thursday night local date).  Two 
foxes will be calling between 14050 and 14070 kHz.  5W maximum power. 
Work only the two foxes and do not spot the foxes' frequencies. 
Exchange:  RST, SPC, Name, Power.  The two foxes this week are K2ZN, AL, 
NY and NK6A, DON, CA.  From this part of the country, we should be able 
to work them both.

3.  NCCC RTTY Sprint.  0145-0215Z Friday (Thursday night local date). 
15-160M RTTY.  100W maximum power.  One/one kHz QSY rule.  Exchange: 
both calls, #, name, SPC.  Same band dupes OK after one intervening QSO. 
  Look around 080 kHz on each band plus up from 1805 kHz.

4.  NCCC NS Sprint.  0230-0259Z Friday (Thursday night local date). 
15-160M CW.  100W maximum power.  One/one kHz QSY rule.  Exchange:  both 
calls, #, name, SPC.  No same band dupes permitted.  Look around 040 kHz 
and up from 1815 kHz.

5.  10-10 International Summer Contest, SSB.  0001Z Sat to 2359Z Sun. 
10M SSB.  Exchange:  Name + 10-10 # (or "0") + SPC.  There is usually a 
lot of activity in this one if the band is open at all.

6.  NCJ North American QSO Party, CW.  1800Z Sat to 0559Z Sun.  Single 
ops may operate 10 hours out of the 12.  100W maximum power.  160-10M 
CW.  Exchange:  Name + S/DC/Prov/NA country.  For stations outside NA, 
Name only.  NA teams can work everybody.  There is a team competition 
and I will register teams for SECC (and friends) Friday night or 
Saturday morning and will send out a copy of the registrations.  So far, 
we have:  K4BAI, N4IQ, NN4K, KU8E, N4YA, K2SX, N4EEV, AD8J, AA4LR.  You 
don't have to be a member of SECC or licensed or operate within any 
particular geographical area.  Please let me know ASAP if you want to 
join the fun as a member of a team.  This one always has a lot of 
activity and a lot of fun.  Multipliers (St/DC/Prov/NA countries) count 
per band, so there can be a lot of QSYing, even to bands that appear not 
to be open.  Please join in the fun even if you elect not to be on a team.

7.  ARRL 222 mHz and up Distance Contest.  1800Z Sat to 1800Z Sun.  222 
mHz and up all modes.  Exchange:  6 character grid square.

of a hand key and by 1 1/2 for use of a bug.  Scores are reported
