Flight of the Bumblebees - 2011


The Flight of the Bumblebees is one of my favorite outdoor QRP events of the entire year.  Usually, around May 1st, Bee numbers begin to be handed out.  This year, there seemed to be an uneasy silence about FOBB 2011.

So, I fired off an e-mail to Chris K6DBG asking him what was up and if there was any way I could help?  He replied that the Adventure Radio Society was looking for someone to take over as Contest Manager for FOBB this year, and would I be interested?

Not looking before I leaped, I said, "Yes" and the rest, as they say, is history. (Lord, what have I done?)

This year's Flight of the Bumblebees will be held on Sunday July 31st. You can find all the pertinent information at:

If you want a Bee number, please send an e-mail to w2lj@verizon.net 

All I ask is that you please "bee" patient with me if I don't answer your e-mails immediately; or you don't see updates to the roster as soon as you think you might.  I give you my solemn promise that I will do the best that I can.

  1. Good for you, Larry. Lots of people like to take part in these activities but too few are willing to step up and help keep them running.
