>> Hi, again, everyone.
>>
>> Well, this week-end is the North American QSO Party SSB contest.
>>
>> It runs from 1800 Z tomorrow, until 0600 Z Sunday morning.
>>
>> Operating bands are the usual contest bands--160 through 10.
>>
>> The exchange is very simple--just name and state/province.
>>
>> I plan to wrack up as many qsos on as many bands as I can during the
>> allowed
>> 10 hours of operating time, so please look for me.
>>
>> I will be working from the home QTH, rather than the RV, since my XYL has
>> another week-end commitment.
