[K3PZN-List] Mason-Dixon Hamfest - VE Testing and CQWW

Tue Oct 26 08:49:42 EDT 2004

Greetings Clint;

Thanks for helping out!

The VE Testing will be in the Block Building past the bathrooms, on the
East side of the complex. We were not able to get the classooms
traditionally used for VE testing. The Block Building will actually give
the VE Team more room. I believe there's a divider screen that can be
pulled across the room if that would help to keep things quiet. Tables and
chairs will be set up and ready.

I hope everyone gets a chance to operate some in the CQWW Phone contest
from the hamfest. A suggested strategy for Saturday evening is to go about
5 KHz up from WX3B and start calling CQ. Maybe I can get ahold of a voice
keyer that has Jim's voice calling CQ recorded on it (Most voice keyers in
the county do). Imagine the fun we could have with that.....

from

Smith

much

these

half
