[FARC] Don't Forget - MDC QSO Party - Sat/Sun

[Bob Moroney]

A good opportunity to get on the air is coming up this weekend: The 
Maryland-DC QSO Party.

It runs from Noon to Midnight local time on Saturday, Aug. 9th, and 
picks up again from Noon to 23:59 local time on Sunday, Aug. 10th.

All modes and all bands except for 60m are in play, so just about anyone 
can participate, even if "all" you have right now is a 2m HT.  (Contacts 
must be simplex to count for points; repeater contacts don't count.)

Even if you're not in the contest for points, you can help those who are 
by getting on the air, however briefly, during the contest.

The official rules are at http://www.w3cwc.org/funcontest.htm .

Eric N8AAY noted earlier that he'd be out at the FARC club station 
during the contest, so perhaps he'll come back with his planned 
operating time(s) for anyone who wants to join in out there.
