FOC open invitation to all CW ops
Join us for 24 hours of CW fun, making QSOs with FOC members on all 6 HF 
bands (WARC excluded) and VHF. This is an operating event called The Bill Windle 
QSO Party. The primary purpose is to encourage more CW activity. Stations 
call CQ BW in any portion of the band from 015 to 040. (On 160, please stay 
below 025). Nonmembers contact FOC members. Contact each station once per band. 
Exchange RST and name (FOC members will also send their membership number). 
Stations are encouraged to also engage in mini-chats, if they so desire. The 
activity event will run from 0000Z to 2359Z on June 9, 2007. New this year: 
Certificates will be awarded to the QSO leaders on each continent. A separate 
certificate will be awarded to an FOC member and nonmember station who 
reports the highest number of QSOs during the 24 hour period. We still use the 
honor system. No logs required. Just send in your QSO total to be listed. 
Nonmembers send total number of QSOs with FOC members (count each QSO once per 
band). Members will report the number of total QSOs/and separate FOC member QSOs. 
Email totals only to _KZ5D at aol.com_ (mailto:KZ5D at aol.com) by June 16, 2007. 
List will be posted on the FOC website.
