"CQ BR" - The Bug Roundup!

It's time to dust-off that precious old Vibroplex, or any other type
of bug, and give it a work out! The W6FSM Bug Roundup will take place
on Saturday, November 15th at 1800Z through 0600Z on the 16th (10:00
AM to 10:00 PM Pacific Time)...a full 12 hours of old-time CW delight.

Sponsoring the event is the Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club (W6SFM)
of Sacramento, CA. Detailed information may be found at their website,
located here.

The club page describes the event as :

"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."
