2025 Flight of the Bumblebees

The annual Flight of the Bumblebees will be held on Sunday, July 27, 2025.

 The event will be in a four hour daytime window, from 1700 to 2100 UTC.

 This casual QRP CW event consists of 'Bumblebees' who are operating portable stations at outdoor locations, and 'Home Stations' who try to work as many of these 'Bumblebees' as possible.

 This event is open to all operators.  Anywhere.  With the sunspot cycle still on the high side, this year's  event has the potential to be very interesting.

 Operators who want to go out and setup a portable station at some outdoor location, and be a highly sought after 'Bumblebee', need to obtain a "Bumblebee Number". 

 The window for obtaining your 2025 'Bumblebee Number' is now Open.   This year is is simpler than ever to get a Bumblebee Number.

 The https://ars-qrp.com web site will explain the whole process.

 I'll be out there as a 'Bumblebee' - hoping to work you during the event.

This is always a super fun event, and is a Summertime Classic! And what makes it even better is that there's always lots of participation. I've already signed up and I'll be Bee # 25!
