I'm not sure how many QRP ops are shooting for WAZ QRP, but here's your 
chance for Zone 2 on CW .... I will be on or about 7040 next Thursday Oct 
24 at 10 PM Eastern Time using K8DD/VE2. Rig will be an Elecraft K2 and I 
believe the 40 M antenna is going to be a vertical 4-square.
I'll stick around until there are no more QRP answers.
More info on the TeamZone2 operation VC2C at http://www.qsl.net/teamzone2
AC8W and I will be at the 10M station - give us a call in the contest.
