Our September sprint is this coming Tuesday evening local time (October 14, EDT - 8:30-10:30PM, CDT - 7:30-9:30PM, MDT - 6:30-8:30PM, PDT - 5:30-7:30PM), which translates as Wednesday October 15, 0030 to 0230Z in all cases. I will refer you to the proper URL: http://www.naqcc.info/sprint201410.html This is a monthly event that caters to the CW veteran, the CW newcomer, straight key and bug fans. All are welcome to participate (this includes QRO); but you must use QRP power levels to compete for awards. If you've been hesitant to join in our sprints because you hear other sprints running at breakneck speeds, have no fear. Our sprints are geared to the newcomer to CW and/or contesting. Virtually everyone including the many veteran contesters who regularly enter our sprints will slow down to YOUR speed to help you make your contacts. 72/73 de Dave VA3RJ NAQCC #0004 for NAQCC http://naqcc.info/ From fists at mailman.qth.net Thu Oct 16 09:32:21 2014 From: fists at mailman.qth.net (Hector (Luigi) Perez via FISTS) Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 06:32:21 -0700 Subject: [Fists] In Search of Message-ID: <1413466341.90029.YahooMailNeo@web162303.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> Good day FIST friends.
