Labor Day Holiday Sprint

Description

Our annual MIQRP sprint will be held on Labor Day, Sept 1, from 7pm till 11pm EDT. As in the past our clubs’ call WQ8RP will be available for members to use. Anyone who works a WQ8RP station gets 25 bonus points per band added to their score so there is an incentive for contestants to seek out WQ8RP. In early August I’ll post an announcement on our group.io reflector to sign up and a schedule for bands and times available. Last year there were 280 MIQRP sprint contacts reported so there are contestants looking for MIQRP member numbers. So after a great Labor Day celebration with family & friends plan some time to participate in our MIQRP Labor Day Sprint. Lee N8LJ yn2lj@yahoo.com

CW Practice / Rag Chew

My next CW practice session will be June 25 at 18:00 EDT / 22:00 UTC on 20 meters. Anyone and everyone is welcome. These practice sessions are intended for operators who are new to CW or they need some practice. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS. Mistakes are OK. Poor fists are OK. Slow speed is OK. Really slow speed is OK. This practice is meant for you to improve your CW. I will do my best to adjust to your skill level. Operate at any power level. If several stations show up, I will operate as a round-table control station. I will do it as a round-table so everyone gets a chance to transmit. Please listen to my directions.

Details:

Date - June 25

Time - 18:00 EDT / 22:00 UTC

Band - 20 Meters

How to find me - I will find a clear frequency and call CQ. Go to the Reverse Beacon Network and search for my call sign AB8DF.

That will tell you what frequency I am on. Tune your station to that frequency and if you hear me give me a call. If there is a QSO in progress, please wait for a break in the action. Then send your call sign. If I hear you, I will invite you to join the QSO and start a round-table QSO.

IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR CW IS
