[SESprint] Teams for North American QSO Parties in January and February

[John Laney]

Hello all:

South East Contest Club will enter teams in the North American QSO 
Parties in January and February.  Three QSO parties will take place, one 
on CW, one on SSB, and one on RTTY.  These parties run 12 hours (of 
which single ops can operate only 10).  They start on Saturday 
afternoon.  The exchange is simply name and date.  The mults (state, 
provinces, and North American countries) count per band, so there is an 
incentive to operate all open bands.  Power is limited to 100W so there 
is not a tremendous advantage to stations who could run more power. 
Bands are 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters.

Teams are from two to five members.  Team members do not need to be 
members of SECC or to live and operate within any geographical area. 
So, invite  your friends who do not have their own contest clubs with 
teams in the events to join us.

The dates are:

CW:  January 12-13, 2019
SSB: January 19-20, 2019
RTTY:  February 23-24, 2019.

I will be on Bonaire for a week (for ARRL DX CW) just prior to the RTTY 
event, so if someone else would like to enter the teams for that event, 
please let me know.  If not, I will be able to do it, since I expect to 
have internet access.

I will be participating on CW and SSB, and welcome any other team 
members for any of the three modes.  Please let me know ASAP if you'd 
like to be on a team, which mode(s),  about how much time you may be 
able to operate, and if you will be running QRP by chance. I plan to get 
out some suggestions as to strategy before the CW and SSB events.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

73, John, K4BAI.
