[SOC] 2018 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt -Official Announcement

[Larry W2LJ]

The NJQRP Club is announcing the 7th Annual " Skeeter Hunt".  This year, the event is to be held on Sunday August 19th.  It will be a four hour sprint - from 17:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC (1:00 TO 5:00 PM EDT).

QRP stations who wish to be designated as "Skeeters" can get a Skeeter number by requesting one by sending an e-mail to w2lj at arrl.net   Please let me know if you intend to operate from a state other than your home state as listed on QRZ. Skeeter numbers will be issued from June 21st (the First Day of Summer) through the day before the event. 

Only Skeeter Number requests received by e-mail will be honored. This ensures that I will not miss anyone's requests, especially those requested via social media.(I tend to miss those!),

This year's theme will be "water - the breeding ground for Skeeters!"  Operate near any sizable body of water - lake, ocean, creek, river, bayou, stream, brook, pond, etc, for an extra 100 bonus points.

As always the rules for the Skeeter Hunt can be found at http://www.qsl.net/w2lj/

Once June 21st arrives and Skeeter Number requests begin to be honored, the Official Roster can be found at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dac2DytXjH9fCHMeD0-Hzwd-lSKSE0yg3aWnw3NBB3M/edit#gid=1141920406
