W6SFM 2014 Spring Bug Roundup event (An event for Bug Key users around the world!)

W6SFM On-Air BUG ROUNDUP - Saturday May 17th 2014

Dates
W6SFM Bug Roundup is held twice annually.
- Every 3rd Saturday in May from 1700 UTC though Sunday 0500 UTC
- Every 3rd Saturday in November from 1800 UTC through Sunday 0600 UTC


Bands (Suggested Freq.)

40 meters - 7.040 - 7.050 MHz

Objective:
This 12-hour event is not a contest; rather it is a time dedicated to celebrating our CW and Bug key heritage. Participants are encouraged to get on the air and simply make enjoyable, conversational CW QSOs using a Bug style key as the sending instrument. There are no points scored in this event, and all who participate are winners.

Once the event has concluded, logs can be submitted to the W6SFM by way of the link provided on the clubs Bug Roundup web page. Nominal prizes/certificates will be awarded to: the person who had the most QSOs during the 12 hour period; and the person who worked the most interesting amount of bug types.


Thank you for your participation and we hope you enjoy the event. 73
