[Elecraft] RUN FOR THE BACON

[Jerry Ford]

Thanks for your post Bill:

Since you brought it up,   lets get the official invite out to
everyone.            SO, here it is

This coming Sunday evening is the next addition of the " Run For The
Bacon "  sprint sponsored by The Flying Pig QRP Club International.

It is our pleasure to sponsor this event and give everyone ( piggies
and non piggies )  a chance to get on the air and have some fun. This
is a layed back event geared around meeting and greeting others.
I hope each and every one of you will find some time to get in and
swap QSO's with us.

You can find the exchange and all the info you need at
http://www.fpqrp.com   or
http://www.fpqrp.com/fpqrprun.html

The mode is CW only for this event.

For those of you who are working the WAPS,   here is an opportunity to
make a bunch of Q's toward that effort.   For those of you who have
thought about working all states via working piggie members,  here is
an excellent chance to get a good start on that effort.  After a month
and a half,
we only have 34 folks actually logging states and the top pig only has
25 states to his credit.  25 or better could easily be acheived in
this 2 hour sprint.

So,  come on all you  784  piggie members and all you thousands of
QRPer's in general.   Jump in here with us and have some fun.

Don't forget that turning in your logs has been made real easy by
using the AUTOLOG at the bottom of the page.

IF for some reason you can't get to the web page to enter your log,
send it to me via e-mail
( no attachments please ) or snail mail and I'll be happy to enter it
for you.

We always have a bunch of fun with this and this month promises to be
a super event as the bands seem to be coming around and staying opened
a bit longer for us these days.

I hope to see you all on the air,  piggies and non piggies alike.

( if your not yet a piggy,  stop by the web site, go to the bottom of
the page,  click on " membership "       and fill it out. )

As Bill said earlier,   don't forget those higher bands !!!!!

72 and everyone have a super weekend.
