Announcing W6SFM's BUG ROUNDUP <https://w6sfm.com/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 required signup form 
found at https://w6sfm.com/bug-roundup/. Once you are 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 Friday November 17th (00:00 UTC) 
and concludes Sunday Nov. 19th (23:59 UTC), 2017
That's 4:00 PM Friday evening until? 3:59 PM Pacific Time (LOCAL)

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,

W6SFM
