Things to do...

While we're all hunkered down trying to stay clear of this Covid-19, here's a few things to keep you busy next weekend....

To coincide with this years annual QRP To The Field event, the next Trans-Atlantic S2S QSO Party will be on Saturday 18th April 2020 between 1300z and 1700z.  Due to various restrictions in place in a number of EU countries about being outside, participant numbers may be down.

As usual, some may prefer to start a little earlier and others continue after 1700z when propagation has been known to improve.

This is also the same weekend as the Ontario QSO Party, so there will be lots of contacts out there to make.  Rules for this event are HERE.

The QRP To The Field event runs from 0800 local to 1800 local.  The Ontario QSO Party is split into two parts.  The first runs from 1800 UTC on April 18th to 0500 UTC on April 19th, and the second part runs from 1200 UTC to 1800 UTC on April 19th.  Their Rules are HERE.

As you can tell the bands should be hoping if the propagation Gods smile upon us that weekend.  

I'm planning on operating portable from my back deck as all parks and conservation areas in my part of the world are now closed to the public.   

Have fun and stay safe everyone!!
