[GreenKeys] Greenkeys Night

[Tony J. Podrasky]

G.E. Russ et al;

We have a "Barbershop Quartet Night" that is held
every 5th Wednesday of the month, which works out
to about 5 times a year.

The hams with "ESE" suffixes are the barbers, and
"the customers" get points for working them.

It's a QRP cw group that a couple of "ESE" guys
put together, and then by going thru the ARRL e-mail
website were able to amass quite a few hams with
that suffix, to join.

The barbers call CQ ESE on specific center-freqencies.

Maybe we could do something similar - like calling
CQ TTY, and have all the hams with computer-based rigs
get points for working the iron horses.
