It's finally here! This coming Sunday is the Annual NJQRP Skeeter Hunt! There's still time to get a Skeeter number if you want one, but even if you don't that doesn't mean you can't join in on the action. Every year we get log summaries from folks who jumped into the fray without a Skeeter number and just used their output power as their part of the exchange.
So far we have 209 Skeeters signed up from 38 different States and 3 Canadian provinces. There's always room for more and as the old saying goes ......."the more, the merrier!".
For all the info about the Hunt, you can go to either the Skeeter Hunt page of this blog, or visit https://www.qsl.net/w2lj
Come and play "Skeeter Blackjack" with us!
