Hi FISTS Guys and Gals:
The response to my idea was wonderful so here is the next idea!!
We have to call it an "UNSPRINT" because it has not been approved by
the "Pope" and His "Popesicles".
Therefore, I propose that we have the "Unsprint" on Saturday January
12th, 2002. We will operate on all usual frequencies minus one (-1).
For example: 28.057, 21.057, 14.057, etc. or nearest. It will start at
1600Z and end at 2300Z. You must use only a bug or straight key and
will not be tested for proficiency (I couldn't participate if we did).
Anyone caught using an electronic keyer will have a hex put on them
by an Indian Medicine Man Friend of mine who lives on a nearby
reservation and in the future it will render your right and left index
fingers stiff when sending CW, so don't risk that terrible fate and use
the SK or Bug only.
It may be illegal for me to offer a prize but if anyone sends me a
summary of total contacts made, I will pull a coffee mug off the
shelf that says "Alinco" and send it to them. Contacts with Fists
should count some points, let's say 5 and non FISTS 1.
Remember this is not a sanctioned contest nor is it approved by
the coroprate office and staff, so keep it an "UNSPRINT".
