Subj : Some Events this week To : All From : n2qfd Date : Mon Aug 12 2024 11:00 am So, Solar weather is pretty poopy for radio today 12AUG24 but it can't shine all the time! 14AUG24 0030- 02:30z NAQCC Sprint North American QRP CW Club. 15AUG24 19:30 EDT NAQCC East Coast Net is starting so hope we have some turn out and check ins. Net Control is in VA and will be KE4CR so ears open for CQ ECN. 16AUG24 2000-2100z SST the Slow Speed test every week a nice way to end the work week on the east coast. Exchange is your Name and SPC. 16AUG24 2200-2359z RandomGram Event #20 Look up the RandomGram group on IO groups and write to get your word group. Each QSO exchange a 5 letter group. It's sprint like, but adds an element that can't be canned to the thing. I did this during Event #19 and it was really nice. Mom saw the Northern Lights in Southern NY last night which is pretty unusual but hopefully we'll see some improving radio conditions in the week ahead and get a chance to play radio. My thanks to the QRO operators out there who give us small voice QRP stations a shot even when it's less than the best. best 73, DE N2QFD AR SK.. N2QFD{Queen City BBS}:// "Does this need to be said?
