Don't bee sorry!

Before I post my usual "What's up this weekend?" post tomorrow that I try to make every Friday, I wanted to take a little time to make sure that you ............

Don't "bee" late, so you won't "bee" sorry!

This Sunday IS the annual Flight of the Bumble Bees!  YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!

Jody K3JZD has done a fantastic and phenomenal job of promoting this mid-Summer Classic. There are currently 238 QRP'ers who have been assigned Bee numbers. How FANTASTIC is that!?! Can we possibly get up to 300 by game time? THAT would be grand!

I wish we could get this kind of participation for the QRP-ARCI events!

There's still time to sign up for a Bee number if you want one. But even if you prefer staying home and operating from your shack, and there's no reason on Earth to prevent you from doing that - you just jump into the fray without a Bee number. No harm, no foul - just a ton of fun.

Here's an idea and a suggestion........Hey POTA guys who have never tried your hand at QRP CW..... sign up for a Bee number! Talk about a target rich environment?!? You can literally have your activation done in minutes! You wouldn't even have to call "CQ POTA" if you didn't want to!

I am SO hoping that the weather at my neck of the woods is decent on Sunday. As of right now, it's not looking too promising. The hazy, hot and humid I can deal with - the possible lightning is another matter. BUT .......... if the weather prevents me from going portable, I'll just operate as a 5 Watt station from home. I'm not about to miss this for "all the tea in China" if at all possible!

Let's fill the air with so many signals that Hams not aware of the QRP world will tune into the bands on Sunday only to hear what sounds like a swarm of buzzing bees!
