Yes! Feb 7th is the day! We had to move it to
avoid a worldwide CW contest - sure, we QRPers
are gluttons for punishment, but we're not
*completely* nuts. :-)
We'll have a FYBO prize announcement shortly,
so stand by. Should be some good stuff. ;-)

FYBO rules are appended below, or you can visit
<www.dancris.com/~ki7mn> where ScQRPion Bob has
all kinds of good QRP stuff. I believe CQC and
others also have the correct dates on their sites.
Thanks very much for the info! I'll visit the
rogue website and ask the webmaster to correct
the date. (I cc'd a copy of this to QRP-L to
alert the others....)

Sounds great! Can't wait to see who's got the
lower temp when we work each other. At 7500 ft
ASL where many of us AZ/NM QRPers will be, it
may be a tight race. :)
Please let me know if any more questions come
up, and thanks again for the note!
