PCARS (K8BF)

PCARS Contesters:

UPDATE
Wanted to let all of you know that the conflict of VE Session and Contesting has been resolved. So we are back saying that those who will be participating in the two State QSO Parties can show up about an hour before they start.

On Feb. 7-8 we will be putting K8BF on the air from our World Famous HQ in two state QOS Parties. Yes, that’s this coming weekend.

The first is the Minnesota QSO Party that is held on Sat., Feb. 7th from 1400 UTC (9AM local) until 2359 UTC (7PM local). In other words, it’s a one day contest. We have done very well in this event, finishing first for a few years.

The second is the British Columbia QSO Party, that starts on Sat., Feb 7th at 1600 UTC (11AM local) and goes until 0359 UTC (11PM local). Then it pauses so that we can get a good night’s sleep and picks up on Sunday, Feb.8 at 1600 UTC (11AM local) and continues until 2359 UTC (7PM local). Again, we have done well in this event also.

So I am encouraging all members who love, like, tolerate state QSO Parties to join us during these two events. Since attendance is sporadic throughout the days, it is impossible to set up any type of operating schedule. So we will attempt, to the best of our ability, to accomodate all who show up to operate.

I look forward to seeing many members there.

Chuck, W8PT
