[bars] North America QSO Party/RTTY tomorrow!

[Tim - K1DC]

This is a casual event with an easy exchange -- your name and state (or 
country for DX stations). It is limited to 100w output power so the 
'potato stations' like mine can be competitive.  It starts at 1PM 
(1800z) so you'll have plenty of time to get your errands accomplished 
before setting into your chair for some radio fun!

I hope to get you in the log!

73,

Tim/K1DC
