Hello ALL, (QRP activity info at http://www.dancris.com/~ki7mn)
   Please read NOTE 1 at bottom of page.
The 50 States In 50 Days (FSFD) activity started Jan 01 and runs through
Feb. 19. Below is a the schedule of the remaining States. We will attempt
to provide digested schedules of states/times/bands/freqs to help reduce
message traffic to the reflector. Typically, only 1 message per day.
                                          ALL TIMES UTC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Feb. 18 Tue. CANADA Only VE3FLB/VE3JC/VE5RC/VE7CQK have responded.

                                          1730-1800 UTC 14.060

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Feb. 22-23 CQC/FYBO and FSFD Blow Out So far: AL7FS-Alaska, KJ7UN-Montana,
            NR3Z-PA, N7CQR-OR, N7MR (& WY. crew), WB0QQT-Nebr, WS4S-TN,
            have all indicated they will be on. Since "everyone" else is
            geared up for these events too, it seemed unnecessary to tie
            up individules with specific schedules so just 'go for it'.
            This will be one of the best, if not crasiest weekends until
            Field Day. Enjoy (freezing is optional).

NOTE 1. Most sign-ups came with a note saying they would go longer if busy.
Frequencies are +/- QRM & typ. may reach as far as 3-4 KHz from posted freq.
If am major QRP frequency is listed, like 7.040, it means close by if
possible. We will attempt to avoid being right on 7.040, 14.060, 10.116, etc.

CALLING CQ: A suggestion. If we call CQ WAS or WAS QRP de VE.... etc,
we give those not on QRP-L an indication of what we're doing. FSFD type
calling might be too cryptic for all but ourselves. However 'FS' is fine
when busy. Exchange RST, State/Province/Country, and Name. Power level is
nice to know.

Remember, Jim K1MG starts up 50/40 activity next month. Watch for messages.
