QRPTTF 2017 announced!

Today, Paul Harden announced the theme for QRP To The Field 2017 - "A River
Runs Through It" or, as he also refers to it - "Rivers On The Air".

To quote Paul:

Qualifying River: To avoid any confusion defining a river, creek, stream,
canal, etc. – if it has a name, it qualifies, whether or not there's water
in it when you arrive. This would include dry river beds and arroyos (with
a name) common in the Southwest. Operate from near the river as safety or
local facilities allow.


This year, QRPTTF falls on Saturday, April 22nd. It runs 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Local Time (so it varies from time zone to time zone).

The name of the river is a required part of the exchange, but you're
welcomed to shorten it to something manageable - so something like
the "Chattahoochie" won't be so daunting on CW.

There's no shortage of rivers, creeks and streams near me, so finding a
suitable location to operate shouldn't be a problem. QRPTTF is one of my
most favorite events of the year and is the kick off to the Summer QRP
Outdoor Operating season. Once QRPTTF rolls around - you know Winter is
definitely over!
