Howdy Folks,

Here’s a repost of the FYBO ’98 rules. We ScQRPions have only one goal for FYBO - EVERYONE HAVE FUN! But please be safe too. I’ll be snow camping this year (along with others), so please plan on sending a little RF this way to warm us up. Last year the only thing keeping me from succumbing to hypothermia was pumping the straight key. Well, that and the Pop Tarts that Mike (NQ7K) brought along. :-)

Cheers de AB7TT, Joe,
