Subject: FISTS 3 Hour Sprint 2010 first session this coming Saturday 26th June 

Hmm, this may not be the best time to mention this, but I don't want to be both first and 
last in the results as I was with the VHF/UHF/SHF Activity HI!

The first session of the new FISTS 3 Hour Sprint 2010 Activity takes place this coming 
Saturday 26th June, 00:01 - 23:59 UTC.  

For the full details, please see FISTS 3 Hour Sprint 2010.

If you keep your log on a computer, you can use the free FISTS Log Converter 1.0.0 
Windows program, which will select your best 3 hours and create a log and score in the 
form required by Rob M0BPT.

The second and final session takes place on Saturday 24th July.

Surprised to see this event on during the biggest operating event of the year over 
here in the Colonies which is ARRL Field Day.  

It runs from Saturday 26th June, 1800 UTC to Sunday 27th June, 2100 UTC

Stations will be operating on all bands, except the WARC bands.  Our club will be 
using the call, W4FCR ( FISTS # 7007 ) which is a club call worth 3 points.  

We will be operating all rigs from batteries.  We will have a 160 Meter horizontal loop 
held up by balloons.

Perhaps you chaps over there can make lots of contacts with stations over on this 
side of the Pond.
