Message-ID: <5462CA54.5010100@w6sfm.com> Just a friendly reminder that the W6SFM Bug Roundup event will be held this Saturday the 15th at 1800 UTC through 0600 UTC ! It's time to Grab that bug, clean those contacts, and let?er fly! Let?s hear that ?Banana Boat / Lake Erie Swing" or that commercial KPH/WCC quality fist. We're going to switch off that keyer and fill the ionosphere with home grown digital music, and have some Fun! The Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club, a Sacramento, California based CW enthusiast club wanted a special time to bring bug operators together on the air. In the same spirit as ARRL's Straight Key Night, participants are encouraged to make simple, conversational, ?chewing-the-fat? QSOs using their bug type key. This is an opportunity to exercise, share and exhibit your personalized fist. This is NOT a contest. Call "CQ BR" so folks know you are a Bug Roundup Participant. In order to assist in spotting and potentially increase QSOs, an On-line chat window will be available at the bottom of the Bug Roundup home page found here: http://www.w6sfm.com/Bug_Roundup.html Be sure to visit our Home Page at www.w6sfm.com to learn more about the SFM ARC and how we're helping to support and preserve CW on the bands. We hope that you will all join us for the event! --
