Message-ID: <0aadb9f8-6eee-7e00-78ec-09640cab6271@w6sfm.com> 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, -- W6SFM www.w6sfm.com -- W6SFM www.w6sfm.com
