Subject: GB> Anyone on the QRG this weekend????

Attention, all hands:

To help commemorate the last stand for brass pounders, commercially, this
week, we of the amateur radio service, now accept with honor and all due
respect the ``baton'' of CW operations, and will carry it on until then
end of our watch.

In order to practice, dilligently, the art and craft of the Brass
Pounder or CWist, on the air, and with like minded stations,
I propose we meet each Friday evening QTR 0300Z QRG 7147 KCS for
an informal roundtable and friendly discussion.

Call will be CQ BP CQ BP DE <yourcall> <yourcall> K.

The reason for 7147 is to allow those with lesser skill to join in
and for the novices to hear us and maybe tag along to ratchet up
their skills.  We need to try to mentor all hands along.
In winter, if it stays going, we can try an 80M novice QRG.

If you have a straight sending iron, use it.
If you have a bug, use it, but slow it down if appropriate.
If you have an automatic key, use it, but slow it down if appropriate.
If you have a keyboard, use it, but slow it down if appropriate.
The point is to put it to use with your CW skills.

If you have Glowbug gear, use it.
If you have BoatAnchor gear, use it.
If you have modern gear, us it.
The point is to put it to use with your CW skills.

QRQ will be appropriate for the slowest operator.

Some short traffic/info may be appropriate.

Short discussions of CW, radio history, Glowbugging, or BoatAnchoring
are appropriate.

Short discussions of operating practices and skills are appropriate.

(Someone QSP to the BA lists since I am not on those....)

(This is a little broader than our usual BA/GB get togethers, but
 maybe this will draw in some additional interest?)
