Second Sunday Sprint coming up
John Lonigro
This coming Sunday (April 10th) is the April Second Sunday Sprint (SSS). The operating rules haven't changed. The frequencies haven't changed. The time hasn't changed (7:00-9:00 pm CDT). However, the method of reporting your score HAS changed. No longer should you send me an email with your results. Instead, thanks to Diz (W8DIZ), you need to go to "qrpcontest.com" to log your scores. When you get there, select the 4SQRP Second Sunday Sprint. Once you do that, click on AUTOLOG reporting and go from there. The logging software does all the calculating and tabulating. If you have any questions that the Contest Rules link doesn't answer, please email me.
This is the first month of the new reporting method, but I've done extensive testing (slight exaggeration) and it all seems to work FB. The only change is the scores from November, 2015 through December, 2016 will be combined to determine the overall 2016 winner. Previously, it was November through September. After 2016, the contest year will coincide with the calendar year (January - December). From now on, the year's top score will be announced in January of the following year. As usual, please submit your scores promptly. I will be busy with house guests and a family wedding this weekend and won't be checking my email very regularly. especially in the evenings. Let's have a lot of participation this weekend, to wring out the new system. 72, John, AA0VE (Had a great time at Ozarkcon, as usual. Lots of good prizes, good food, and (last but not least) good companionship!)

That Strange Noise On 40 Meter CW
Sam Neal
Hello,
After 50 plus years of electronic keyers, I decided to join the bug operators again. It arrived today ( VIZ vertical bug ) and is a thing of beauty - about 99 % polished brass. I hooked it up to my WRL Globe Chief and had a nice QSO with W8TY in Lima Ohio who was running a 5763 at 8 Watts ( and was very patient with my terrible keying ). This will certainly take some getting used to, after chasing DX at 45 WPM with keyers, not having used a bug in 50 - 55 years. How do you get used to having to manually make the dashes. I tried opening up the spacing on the dots and dashes, but I still sound " like a beginner with his first bug"! I hooked it to a solid state code practice oscillator left over from my code class teaching days. Had to because keying cathode keyed rigs like the AT-1 and DX-20 place some pretty potent Voltage on parts of the bug. Any tips would be appreciated. 73, Sam Neal N5AF

OzarkCon
Nick-WA5BDU
Getting back to normal after another excellent OzarkCon. Thanks to
all the organizers. Good to see a lot of familiar faces and a few new
ones.
On the way up, Jim N5IB and I stopped at the Buffalo River in Pruitt, AR on
HWY 7 and tried a little NOPTA action. I managed just one QSO on 40 meters while
Jim did maybe 15 or so on 20. But it was a great spot to stop and set up
the little rigs on picnic tables next to the river.
I enjoyed the presentations. They inspired me to try a few things and try
harder at a few others.
I always enjoy the in-hotel QSO party and managed three total this
year. I’m thinking next year maybe a tiny homebrew rig dedicated just to
that purpose. How hard could it be?
73-
Nick, WA5BDU

Re: Introduction
Scott Dreher <scott.dreher@...>
I built the project from the March issue of QST. It is based on a Forty-9er kit, modified to use an Arduino based VFO, so I can tune over the entire 40m band. I added a touch sensitive iambic keyer circuit. When I get a few minutes to play on the radio, I'll post on the QRP spots page mentioned earlier and see how it does. Scott WZØW

You might scare up a QSO by spotting on QRP SPOTS or post here. Speed does not matter to most of us. Ill listen for you.

Introduction
scott.dreher@...
Hi everyone...I just wanted to drop a note to introduce myself to the group. I'm Scott, WZØW. I've been a ham for a little over two years, and have been learning CW since last fall. I just completed building a QRP transceiver for CW on 40m, and the QRP bug has bitten. I have yet to make a QSO on the hombrewed rig, but hopefully that will change soon! I look forward to meeting you all on the air in the near future. Scott
