[Andrew.MacAllister at EmersonProcess.com]

BIG RADIO WEEKEND!!

Ameco (and clones) AC1 night is Friday night (starting at 0000 Zulu for
7 hrs).

SKN (Straight Key Night) is Saturday evening (starting at 0000 Zulu
through Sunday - 24 hrs).

Spartan Sprint is Monday evening (starting at 8PM Central for 2 hrs).

For the AC1 night, I will be using my 1969 AC-1 and Ameco R-5 receiver.
For SKN, I will be on the linear-transponder satellites with my FT-847
and J-37 key.  For the Spartan Sprint I will be active with my AT Sprint
III weighing in ~0.25 lbs.  Somehow I also need to find time for the gun
show, a movie and dinner with the XYL WB5RMA, painting some WW2 rigs,
and other social stuff...

Spartan Sprint Contest Monday -

The January Spartan Sprint will be held on Monday, January 2, 2006

fun
as you contact other QRP CW stations on 80, 40, 20, 15, and/or 10

The contest starts at 9 pm EST, 8 pm CST, 7 pm MST, and 6 pm PST.
That's
0200-0400 UTC.

The Spartan Sprint exchange is RST - State - Power (e.g. 559 ME 5W).

We will continue our special recognition for those who operate outdoors.
If
you operate outdoors, please note it in your Soapbox comments after the
contest.  Also, in your Soapbox comments after the contest, start by
listing

information.

If it's portable and outdoors, it's Adventure Radio!
