november 18-20, 2023 BUG ROUNDUP (UTC)

Objective

Grab that bug, clean those contacts, and let'er fly! Let's hear that "Banana Boat/Erie Swing" or that commercial KPH/WCC quality fist.

Purpose

Switch off that keyer! Fill the ionosphere with home grown digital music and have some fun!

Sponsor

The Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club (W6SFM), a Sacramento, California based CW enthusiast club wanted a special time to bring bug operators together on the air. In the same spirit as ARRL's Straight Key Night, participants are encouraged to make simple, conversational, "chewing-the-fat" QSO's using their bug type key. This is an opportunity to exercise, share and exhibit your personalized fist. This is NOT a contest. Call "CQ BR" so folks know you are a Bug Roundup Participant.

Date

Each Third Weekend (UTC) in the months of May and November.

Time

Beginning Saturday Morning 00:00 UTC through Monday 00:00 UTC. That's Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon for all of the Americas.  


(Translation = 5:00 PM PT Friday 11/17/23 until 5:00 PM PT Sunday 11/19/23.) 

Bands

160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m & 10m CW frequencies. X.030 MHz-X.035 MHz (IE 7.033 MHz).


QSO Exchange

Name, QTH, RST, plus your Bug manufacturer, model, age and any features or history about it.
