Morse Amateur Radio Club, a Sacramento, California based CW enthusiast club wanted 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. Simply Call "CQ BR" so folks know you are a Bug Roundup Participant. Grab that bug, clean those contacts, and let'er fly! Let's hear that "Banana Boat / Lake Erie Swing" or that commercial KPH/WCC quality fist. Reserve the day! Saturday May 16th, 2015 07:00 AM to 07:00 PM Pacific Time (LOCAL) 1400 UTC through Sunday 1400 UTC For more information and to help assist in spotting, potentially increasing QSOs, an On-line chat window will be available at the bottom of Bug Roundup home page located at www.w6sfm.com/Bug_Roundup We hope to hear you all on the air! 73, W6SFM
