I'm back from vacation and raring to go (radio-wise, that is)!  The 
place my family stays at up in Lake George, NY is beautiful; but sadly, 
it's pretty much an RF black hole.  So my brass poundin' fingers are 
itching and all set to go.  Fortunately, this Sunday night will be the 
July RFTB.

This Sunday evening, the Flying Pigs Amateur Radio Club International 
will be holding its monthly Run For The Bacon.  This is a friendly, two 
hour QRP CW Sprint, which is open to ALL radio amateurs, will last from 
9:00 - 11:00PM EDT (0200-0400 UTC Monday).

You may work stations once per band on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 or 10 
Meters.  Suggested starting frequencies are 1.812, 3.562, 7.044, 14.062, 
21.062, and 28.062 MHz.

The exchange is RST, S/P/C (State, Province, Country) and Flying Pigs 
membership number.  If you're not a member of the Flying Pigs, and would 
like to be; then please click on the "membership" hyperlink on 
http://www.fpqrp.com/.  Otherwise, non-members can just use their output 
power figure.

You can report your score via the Autolog page which can be found at 
:http://www.fpqrp.com/fpqrprun.html;
or you can mail your logs to the address given on the Autolog page.  The 
deadline for logs is July 22nd at 2400 UTC.

As like last month, the top three scorers will win a certificate.  Keep 
in mind that anyone who participates in 10 out of 12 RFTBs this year 
will earn a special Certificate of Merit at the end of the year.  So 
please use the Autolog if you've participated; but were unfortunate 
enough to make any contacts.  In this case, trying helps!

Hope to catch you on the air Sunday evening!
