Announcing the W6SFM On-Air BUG ROUNDUP

The Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club -- a CW enthusiast club based in Sacramento, California – invites you to a special time bringing bug operators together on the air. This 48-hour event is not a contest; rather it is a time dedicated to celebrating our CW and Bug key heritage. In the same spirit as ARRL's Straight Key Night, participants are encouraged to get on the air and simply make enjoyable, conversational CW QSOs using a Bug style key as the sending instrument. There are no points scored in this event, and all who participate are winners.
Reserve the date! The event begins on May 20 00:00 UTC and concludes May 22 00:00 UTC. That's 5:00 PM Friday evening until Sunday 5 PM Pacific Time.
