Topband: A reminder about two upcoming contests where support from the larger Ham community would be appreciated

[James Rodenkirch]

Two QRP ARCI contests coming up in October and December may be of interest to you guys and any participation on your part would be appreciated.

1) QRP entries in the CQ and ARRL 160 meter events is common so here's hoping you have time the weekend of 15/16 October to work some of the contesters in the QRP ARCI Fall QSO Party; there is a Low Band category j- 160, 80 and 40 - that might whet your appetite some for that event.  

Check here for the details on that Fall QSO Party:  http://www.qrparci.org/content/view/7674/118/

2)  The The Top Band Sprint, a six hour CW and SSB contest, is
just around the corner - 1 December.  From
the feedback received over the past two years, it looks like there is more and
more activity and any participation by this group would add to those numbers and be appreciated.   Check back here for rules on this contest which should be posted in the coming week or two:  http://www.qrparci.org/content/view/8373/137/

Thank you for any consideration you could give to engaging in either of these two events.  Regards, Jim Rodenkirch, K9JWV
