YOU’RE INVITED TO OSCAR SKN 2001

HR AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 366.04 FROM AMSAT HQ

SILVER SPRING, MD, DECEMBER 31, 2000

TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS

BID: $ANS-366.01

All Amateur Radio operators worldwide are cordially invited to participate
in AMSAT-NA’s 29th annual Straight Key Night on OSCAR, to be held
from 00:00 to 24:00 UTC on January 1, 2001.

It’s totally informal; there are no rules, no scoring and no need to even
submit a log! The whole idea is just have fun operating Morse Code with
a straight hand key via any Amateur Radio satellite (including the moon,
OSCAR Zero). To participate, call CQ SKN or answer such calls from
other stations.

In keeping with the friendly tradition of this event, each participant is
encouraged to nominate someone he or she worked for ‘Best Fist’.
Those nominated will be listed in a future AMSAT News Service
bulletin and in the AMSAT-NA Journal. Please send all best fist
nominations to W2RS:

E-mail: w2rs@amsat.org

Packet radio: W2RS @ WA2SNA.NJ.USA.NA

Best fist nominations may also be sent to the W2RS callbook
address.
