Announcing W6SFM's BUG ROUNDUP

The Samuel F. 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. However, there is a very easy and quick requested signup form 
that can be found at https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/. Once you have read 
the page, and optionally registered for the event simply Call "CQ BR" so 
folks know you are a Bug Roundup Participant.? So lets grab that*bug*, 
clean those contacts, and let?er fly! We want to hear that ?Banana Boat 
/ Lake Erie Swing" or that commercial KPH/WCC quality fist.

*Reserve the date!*The event begins on Saturday November 17th (00:00 
UTC) and concludes Sunday Nov. 19th (23:59 UTC), 2018
That's 4:00 PM Friday (Nov. 16th) afternoon until? 3:59 PM Pacific Time 
Sunday (Nov. 19th LOCAL Time).

For more information, to register your station, and to help assist in 
spotting, potentially increasing QSOs, an*On-line chat window*link can 
be found near the bottom of Bug Roundup home page located at 
https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/ We hope to hear you all on the air! 73,
