<DIV>We're looking for a few good men to help with Phone Fray "advertising"
within their respective radio clubs. Phone Fray's two primary goals
are to provide a platform for ops to improve their phone contesting skills and
the development of new contesters. Since Phone Fray is weekly and
patterned after NAQP SSB and NCCC's NS, there is enough challenge for the
veteran and it is easily accessible to new contesters. 100w and a wire is
all that is needed! Launched on 29 JUL, we've had 22 Frays so far.
Here is a link to the rules:</DIV>

<DIV>Can you please help me generate a short list of hams that might be willing
to help advertise the Phone Fray within your club? I think the "job"
is easy....weekly club reflector posts, reaching out to new club members,
elmering folks on strategy, and generally being supportive of contesting skills
improvement and increasing action on the bands. Some of you might already
be on the job! If so, please tell me about your PF recruitment activities
and what is working and what's not.</DIV>

<DIV>NAQP SSB is in two weeks. The 30-minute Phone Fray is perfect for
NAQP practice. Tuesday nights at 9:30 EST (0230 UTC Wednesdays). We
get anywhere from 20-50 scores posted each week to 3830scores. Scores
range from 75/45 to 30/25 depending on conditions and who comes out.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for your help!</DIV>
