[TVARC] CW "bug" event

[k2dm at comcast.net]

I know at least a few of you collect, and use, various styles of telegraph
keys.  Brad, KN9B, pointed out this event to me.  It could be fun.

Announcing W6SFM's BUG ROUNDUP

Have you seen, the solar flux numbers are up in the 90s!

 

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/> 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 21st (00:00 UTC) and
concludes Sunday Nov. 22nd (23:59 UTC), 2020

That's 4:00 PM Friday (Nov. 20th) afternoon until  3:59 PM Pacific Time
Sunday (Nov. 22nd Pacific 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/> https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/  We hope to
hear you all on the air! 73,

 

W6SFM
