Told you to stay tuned! Great news came out tonight, from Jody K3JZD:
There will be a NEW Fall ARS FOBB on September 21st
Thank you everyone who responded to the poll concerning moving the very popular Flight of the Bumblebees (FOBB) QRP CW event to the 3rd Sunday in September when the temperature should be more moderate.
Almost all poll respondents favored moving the Adventure Radio Society FOBB event to the 3rd Sunday in September. However, not surprisingly, some had reservations about moving the Legacy ARS FOBB event away from July.
Probably most of the responses were based on local weather patterns. I suspect that those who live where it was 90+ degrees with high humidity in both July 2024 and July 2025 likely said 'Yes, move it'. And I suspect that those who live in more moderate Northern states likely said ’No, leave it where it is'.
Almost all of the poll respondents said that they would like to work an ARS FOBB event on September 21, 2025.
After consideration, it was decided to leave the Legacy ARS FOBB where it has always been, on the last Sunday in July. And add a NEW Fall ARS FOBB event which will occur on the 3rd Sunday in September.
You can work one of these ARS FOBB events each year, or you can work them both each year. As a Bumblebee or as a Home Station. Double the Fun!!
Bumblebees will have to obtain a new sequentially issued BB Number for this new Fall ARS FOBB – Bumblebee Numbers are always temporary – they are only good for one ARS FOBB event.
You can get your sequentially assigned Bumblebee Number for this NEW September 21 2025 Fall ARS FOBB event now. Go to https://ars-qrp.com/FOBB/FOBB.html.
Yes, there will be a 3830scores.com facility setup for entering results for this NEW Fall ARS FOBB. It will be the same as we used for the Legacy ARS FOBB in July. (Thanks Bruce – WA7BNM).
