I participated in a CW QRP event! Why not? It was actually a pretty good time.
The event: The Zombie Shuffle
The whole purpose is just to have fun. They are not looking for speed racer code operators and everyone is welcome.
The exchange is the best:
(1) RST
(2) your states
(3) a Zombie number, which is east to get. Or you can just use your area code.
(4) your Zombie name. This is the best part. You can just pick your own Zombie name being as creative as you want.
I had a total of 13 contacts (that’s pretty spooky in and of itself). Some of the fun names I worked were: Grim, Creepy, Gorigor, The Thing, Itt (as in Cousin Itt), Elvis, and Booger.
Fun stuff.
