This is how we announced the 'test that year:

CQC Officers and committee chairs...

It was 1859 before CW.  It was 1859 before spark.  It was 1859 before our time was taken away with "reality" television, DVD's, cell phones, and email.  It was 1859 before daylight saving time.  Take a moment to relax and enjoy the "real" world.  This mid-summer event might just build your WAS, DXCC, and provide you with some operating pleasure. Be a part of history!  Are you certified at 65 WPM?  Good for you.  Are you happy at 8 WPM?  That is just fine too.  Just get on and work someone! - WØOOW

We'll need a volunteer to operate Colorado QRP Club station NØCQC to provide lucky operators with extra bonus points! Same goes for Colorado QRP Club station WØCQC - running simultaneously but from a different location and offering the same bonus points. This is a great opportunity to learn a bit about contesting during a short (and pleasant) two hour sprint so why not volunteer?
