BUG NITE

HOW ABOUT A QUARTERLY BUG NITE USING ANY OPEN BAND BUT DURING THE EVENING
TIME WHEREVER ONE LIVES? NORTH AMERICAN EVENINGS FOR NORTH AMERICAN FOLKS.
EU EVENINGS FOR EU FOLKS. A FEW FOLKS MAY HAVE TO STRETCH THINGS TO FIND
SOMEONE TO WORK BUT BASICALLY THE IDEA IS TO WORK OTHERS IN YOUR EVENING
HOURS WHEREVER YOU ARE. WE DO NOT WANT TO DEFINE EVENING BECAUSE IT MAY BE
BEST IF THIS IS LEFT UP TO WHAT WORKS FOR FOLKS. WE ONLY SUGGEST EVENING TO
ALLOW LOWER BAND QSOS AND LOOSELY GET FOLKS ON THE AIR IN ABOUT THE SAME
TIME PERIOD. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR FOLKS TO JOIN IN THE
FUN.


BUG NITE IS HELD ON THE SECOND TUESDAY OF MARCH, JUNE, SEPTEMBER AND
DECEMBER. IT IS CALLED BUG NITE BECAUSE THE EVENT IS IN THE EVENING HOURS
OF ANY LOCATION. DX QSOS MAY BE MADE WITH ANYONE ANYWHERE THE BANDS ALLOW
BUT MOST WILL BE MAKING REGIONAL QSOS DURING EVENING HOURS. QSOS MAY USE
ANY BAND THAT IS OPEN. ONLY ONE STATION IN A DX QSO NEEDS TO BE IN OR NEAR
EVENING HOURS. DON'T PASS UP A NICE "CQ BN" BECAUSE ITS BEFORE OR AFTER
EVENING HOURS. BUG NITE IS PLANNED AS A QUARTERLY EVENT IN MONTHS OUTSIDE
OF THE MONTHS WITH BUG DAY OR BUG ROUNDUP EVENTS.


STILL IF YOU HEAR A CQ BN SHORT FOR BUG NITE AND CAN READ THE SIGNAL, GIVE
THEM A CALL FOR A QSO AND ENJOY. SET THE CW CLUBS RBN PAGE

( https://rbn.telegraphy.de ) FOR BUG AND WATCH FOR FOLKS SPOTTED ON
VARIOUS BANDS. ANY BAND THAT WORKS FOR A QSO IS FINE. THESE ARE NOT
CONTESTS OR COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES AND ALL BANDS ARE INCLUDED.


THERE ARE NO RULES, EXCHANGES, QSO COUNTING, CLASSES, MULTIPLIERS, SCORES,
POINTS, LOGGING, LISTS, VOTING, REPORTS OR EMAILS TO WORRY ABOUT BECAUSE IT
IS NOT A CONTEST.. THERE ARE NO WINNERS, EVERYTHING IS DONE WITH A BUG ON A
HAM BAND JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. JUST FIND A BAND THAT SOMEONE CAN HEAR
YOUR CQ BN ON OR YOU CAN HEAR THEIRS. THERE ARE NO REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE
RAGCHEW QSOS. WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT IS UP TO THE OPS IN QSO. HERE IS BETTING
THE BUGS IN USE ARE ASKED ABOUT IF NOT MENTIONED. JUST BUG OPERATORS HAVING
FUN ON THE AIR. A GOOD PLACE TO LOOK IS THE BUG USERS GROUP HANGOUTS OR
NEARBY. SOME MAY BE IN THE OLD NOVICE BAND ON 40M. THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE
TO DO IS TURN ON YOUR RIG AND HOOK UP YOUR BUG. MAYBE YOU NEED TO DUST OFF
THE BUG AND CLEAN THE CONTACTS. JUST SOME BUG MUSIC ON THE AIR.


PLEASE SHARE WITH ANY ACTUAL BUG OPERATOR YOU KNOW WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN
BUG NITE. AS ALWAYS THE BUG USERS GROUP IS ALL ABOUT HEARING BUGS ON THE
AIR.  PLEASE DUST OFF YOUR BUG AND JOIN THE FUN.
