1) It's the second Sunday of the month and that's the Sunday that I volunteer at the soup kitchen.
2) This Sunday is the inaugural "Cookie Crumble Contest" - a new QRP Sprint, which was the inspiration of Emily Saldana KB3VVE and Tim Carter W3ATB. It runs from 1700 to 2200 UTC - or from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM EDT. I get home from the soup kitchen around 4:00 PM, so I can participate for the last couple of hours.
This promises to be an exciting Sprint with a couple of "twists" including contacting "Cookie Monsters' for extra bonus points and "Burnt Cookies" which will actually lose you points! That's a new concept that I've never heard of - but this is meant to be "a fun, low-stress contest that builds friendship and improves operating skills." So, IMHO, that's a unique twist that won't bother me in the least, if I happen to stumble upon a "Burnt Cookie".
For all the details - you can find them here: http://w3atb.com/cookie-crumble/
Make sure to sign up for a Cookie Number - W2LJ is Cookie # 173.
