[RRDXA] Einladung zur FOC QSO Party

[Martin]

The First Class CW Operators Club, with its roots, history and 
management in the UK, promotes good CW operating, activity, friendship 
and socialising via its worldwide membership of 500. The aim of the Club 
is to foster and encourage a high standard of CW operating ability and 
behaviour on the amateur radio bands.

The FOC QSO Party is held twice a year and is open to all radio amateurs 
world-wide. It's not a contest but an activity day in memory of Bill 
Windle, G8VG (SK), a past Chairman of FOC who was very keen that we 
should all be as active as possible on the bands.

Stations participating in the FOC QSO Party should call "CQBW," in 
memory of Bill.

Duration: 00:00Z to 23:59Z.
