I'll be operating with the W2AN callsign on 75M (and possibly 80M) for 
this event. If you're interested in maximizing your points in this event 
(some are, many aren't), you'll want to work W2AN on at least one band. 
Even if you're not into that aspect, I'll be looking forward to talking 
with as many of you as possible next weekend. For those if you 
unfamiliar with this QSO Party, it doesn't "feel" like a contest. QSO's 
are typically leisurely, like most AM QSOs are, and usually go well 
beyond the "required" exchange of callsign, name, and location. Many 
times a roundtable develops and people hang around for quite a while. 
It's mainly just an excuse to get on AM and have some fun, but with an 
emphasis on older gear. But older gear is not required to participate or 
even to "win," if you're of that mindset.
