Not a happy coincidence

Through a post on the nogaqrp e-mail reflector, I learned from Jim W4QO that the QRP ARCI Spring QSO Party will be the weekend of April 7th and 8th.

Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday – Ouch with a capital “O”.

Sunday participation will be just about impossible.  I am not totally sure at this moment in time, but we usually spend the day with Marianne’s brother and his wife.  There may be a chance for an hour or two between Sunday morning Church services and leaving for there.

Saturday is going to be extremely hard also, as that is Holy Saturday which is generally a busy day at our household.  Maybe, if I am lucky, an hour or two in the late afternoon.

I am going to have to really try to mazimize my QSO rate for the miniscule amount of time that I will be on the air.

    Amen! I too won’t even have a shot at participating. Preaching an Easter service and dedicating a new building at one of my best friend’s church in Texas! Matter of priorities, eh?
