The Bruce Kelley 1929 QSO Party is the pride of the Antique Wireless Association. Next month, the AWA will celebrate radio equipment built before 1930 by putting everything on the air over the course of two weekends. The AWA promotes the event by letting participants know they can expect to hear a lot of [quote] "whooping, chirping, buzzing, clicking, drifting, swishing, swaying, warbling and other interesting signals" [endquote] while it's all going on. Operators are encouraged to send CW using hand keys or Vibroplex-type keys.

The dates are November 14th through to the 16th and again on November 21st through to the 23rd.

The event is named for Bruce Kelley, W2ICE, a cofounder of the AWA who became a Silent Key in 1997.
