[Elecraft] W6SFM Bug Roundup Event THIS WEEKEND!

2016-05-17 Thread W6SFM
It's that time of year again, CW Operators from all around the globe 
will come together this weekend on-air to participate in the Semi Annual 
W6SFM CW Bug Roundup Event. 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 keys. This 
is an opportunity to exercise, share and exhibit your personalized fist. 
This is NOT a contest. Call "CQ BR" so folks know you are a Bug Roundup 
Participant.


For more information on this event and how to participate please visit 
the SFM ARC Bug Roundup Event web page at 
http://w6sfm.com/Bug_Roundup.html  We hope to hear you all on the air 
this weekend! 73,
