Had a great time in Dayton with the contesters, DXers, and QRPers 
mainly.  Came in third in the KCDXC CW pileup competition, using a 
laptop to compete on for the first time.  Dan Street, K1TO, came by my 
house Wednesday and fixed my TH6DXX.  Hooray!  I have been without it 
since early January.  Dan is now in the tower/antenna erection and 
repair business and lives in Myakka City, FL.  However, he travels and 
likes to get clusters of hams to work with in a geographic area.

This week's contests:

1.  SNS NA Sprint Practice Thursday night local, 0200-0215Z Friday.  40 
and 80M CW.  Maximum power 100 W.  Maximum speed 22 WPM. Dupes OK after 
band change or one intervening QSO.  1 kHz QSY rule.  Exchange:  both 
calls, #, name, SPC.

2.  NCCC NA Sprint Practice.  Special run with no same band dupes 
permitted.  So the rules will be very much like the regular NA Sprints 
except for the power limit to 100W.  0230-0259Z Friday (Thursday night 
local).  1 kHz QSY rule.  20, 40, 80M CW.  Around 040 kHz on each band. 
  Exchange:  both calls, #, name, SPC.

3.  Baltic Contest.  21Z Sat to 02Z Sun.  80M CW/SSB.  Exchange:  RS(T) 
+ Serial #. Work anyone.  More points for QSOs with Baltic (ES, LY, YL 
stations).  Frequencies:  3510-3600 CW; 3600-3650 and 3700-3750 SSB.

4.  Bill Windle QSO Party.  This is an "open" operating event sponsored 
by the First Class Operators Club.  Open to all.  Center frequency 
around 25 kHz up on each band.  160-UHF CW (ecept WARC bands).  24 hours 
of Saturday UTC.  Minimum exchange:  RST, Name, FOC # if you have one. 
If you have wondered about FOC or hoped for a nomination to membership, 
this is a good opportunity to meet the FOC members and possibly become 
nominated later on.  (However, it is considered bad form to actually 
overtly ask for a nomination.)  A lot of new members first become known 
by participating in these open events.  No formal scoring or logs except 
to send the total number of QSOs by e-mail to KZ5D.  Non members work 
only FOC members and QSO each station once per band.

Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend.  I know I am going to have 
one with my TH6 working again.  73, John, K4BAI.
