[SFDXA] North American CW Weekend

North American CW Weekend 3-5 June 2016
Fairview Park Marriott
Falls Church, Virginia

    The 2016 CW Weekend will take place June 3-5 at the Fairview Park
Marriott in Falls Church, Virginia. The weekend is open to all hams or 
others
with an interest in CW or Morse code communication - FOC, CWOPS, SKCC,
the Morse Operators Society, and FISTS. It is predominantly a social 
event and
provides a great opportunity to connect with old friends, make new ones, and
enjoy eyeball QSOs with folks you have worked on the bands for years.

    We'll begin with an informal pizza dinner on Friday evening, 
followed by a
brunch Saturday morning hosted by Jim N3JT and Nina KE4PSV at their home in
McLean. Dinner will follow that evening at Clyde's in Tyson's Corners. 
There will
be a hospitality suite with refreshments at the hotel Friday and Saturday
evenings. Sunday morning, many attendees meet informally at the hotel for a
leisurely breakfast before heading home or on to other activities. It is 
likely
Frank, W3LPL, will make a tour of his world class station available to those
interested on Sunday afternoon.

time of
year to visit the Washington area, and the schedule allows plenty of 
time for
sightseeing, shopping, and socializing, or visiting family and friends.

    There will be a modest registration of $ 15 per person or $ 25 per 
couple
to cover refreshments and the hospitality suite. Further information is

    We hope you can join us, and encourage your CW-oriented friends to
consider attending as well.
