I could not resist this---so killer bees are QRO 1000 watts in an arm chair, right?

Hey Larry,why just once a year?                                      How about 
he one I started called Flight Of The Killer Bees?                       I just 
ooked at the radar map and heavy storms just moved into south west part of PA.                     
heir calling for a lot of storms tomorrow and all sun spots are doing nothing.

 Hey Larry, I went to the web site but it really doesn't give much info about
 FOBB. Can you enlighten us a little? It looks like a QRP CW Event (sprint?)
 with emphasis on outdoor operation. Is there some history? Who, why, when
 sort of thing?

 Tnx es 73

on,
Yes, you surmise correctly. The Flight of the Bumblebees is a QRP Sprint 
 with a twist.  It is sponsored by the Adventure Radio Society and 
ccurs each year on the last Sunday of July.
The idea is to operate outdoors at a location that you can walk, hike, 
ayak, bike, canoe, etc, etc, to get to.  Work as many other Bees and 
on-Bees as you can in the allotted time.
he primary goal?  To have fun in the great outdoors!
If you go to the FOBB site:  
ttp://adventure-radio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Flight_of_the_Bumblebees 
nd then click the caption underneath the photos, you'll get the 
ccounts of that Bee's day in the field.

I took the liberty of assigning you Bee # 204 - it's your whether you 
ecide to use it or not.  Please think about it, though - it is a ton of 
un!  While it is one of the better known QRP outdoor events;  we 
elcome anyone to operate and join in on the fun - even from the indoors!
