Topband: 2016 160m Fox Extravaganza, Tuesday, 22 November

[James Rodenkirch]

Back in April Dale, WC7S, sent out a message proposing that there be a repeat of 2015’s 160m QRP Fox Extravaganza that occurred for the first time on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.  (He also suggested that there might be a traditional Fox Hunt on 160m to be held at an appropriate date within the 27 December-3 January 2017 range, that space being a scheduled Fox Hunt recess during year-end celebrations).... see http://www.qrpfoxhunt.org/ for particulars on a QRP Fox Hunt.

Dale hasn’t canceled his earlier recommendation, but since there is now only a week before Tuesday, 22 November, it seems appropriate to make, on Dale’s behalf, a public announcement.

The date for the second 160m Fox Extravaganza is Tuesday, 22 November 2016, with the same UTC times as the regular hunts (0200Z-0330Z early Wednesday 23 November, Tuesday evening here in the U.S.).  Activity is best centered around 1.810 mHz (and you can hear a strong signal from W1AW, QRV on 1,802.5 mHz).  Calling “CQ FE” would be a briefly-sent invitation for QSOs.  The exchange should follow the usual FH format: RST, SPC, name, power.

This all meant to be:

1) FUN!!!!
2) Promote operating on 160 meters (God knows I spend many a night and morning calling CQ, seeing nice RBN reports for my QRP signals but few replies.

If you have the rig turned on Tuesday evening look for stations calling CQ FE - they'll be the Fox....call 'em, preferably at QRP power, exchange RST SPC Name and Power.....they'll be appreciative and we all can pat our selves on the back for encouraging new Top Band operators.... 

BCNU soon for the 2016 160m Fox Extravaganza!
Annnnnnd see ya in the 160 ARRL test as well as the BIg Stew. 

P.S. Just received my ARRL 160 Contest certificate for #10 in U.S. and VE ---- I've always had a goal to  place in the top 10 of a major 160 test.....whooooooo hooooo....did it! 

72,

Jim Rodenkirch K9JWV
