[Elecraft] Announcing the 2023 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt

[Larry Makoski]

The long anticipated announcement for the 2023 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt - the
12th Annual, if you can believe that!

For all the details - please go to www.qsl.net/w2lj or go to the Skeeter
Hunt page of this blog (the next to last tab on the right - located under
the KX3 photo up at the top).

A few points to remember:

1) Due to a personal commitment, the Hunt has been moved to the 4th weekend
of August - the 27th.

2) New Bonus Point Challenge for 2023:

Fifteen Skeeters have graciously consented to act as Bonus Skeeters. They
have been issued numbers that are palindromes (numbers that are the same
forward and backward) - Skeeters 11, 22, 33, 44 ...... right through 151.
When you work one, that QSO is worth 100 points - and you can work as many
as you can up to 1,000 bonus points. The Bonus Skeeters are highlighted on
the roster.

3) Skeeter numbers for the rest of you will be issued in the same way as
they have since the beginning of this event. Send an e-mail to either
w2lj at arrl.net, or w2ljqrp at gmail.com NO SOONER THAN June 21st, the First Day
of Summer. You will receive an e-mail back with your sequential number, or
you can check the roster, by clicking here.  Please do not apply for a
number via the Facebook page, as I may very well miss your request - and we
wouldn't want that to happen, would we? Numbers will be issued right up
until the Midnight before the day of the event.

I hope you'll have fun and enjoy the Hunt this year - good luck and happy
QRP'ing!
