   KICKER: A BEAST OF AN EVENT FOR "SASQUATCH AWARENESS"   
      
   STEPHEN/ANCHOR: We end this report with a reminder that it's October   
   -the same month as Halloween - and things are about to get a little -   
   well OK, a lot - hairy. Ralph Squillace explains.   
      
   RALPH: You may no longer believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or   
   even the Tooth Fairy but do you believe in Sasquatch? The sizable   
   simian of popular American folklore has a sizable following -- and when   
   he puts his foot down, he leaves his mark. Bigfoot - that hair-covered   
   mythical presence reportedly sighted in Western states of the US - does   
   everything in a big way. So the Radio Club of Tacoma in Washington   
   state is taking its cue from him by devoting six days to mark National   
   Sasquatch Awareness Day - October 16th through to the 21st.   
      
   Whether you call the beast Sasquatch or Bigfoot, you can celebrate   
   Awareness Day by chasing this legendary creature of the woods. Listen   
   for W7 callsigns with suffixes that spell "BIGFOOT," starting with W7B,   
   W7I, W7G and so on. Sasquatch Spotters will be posting his whereabouts   
   on CW, phone, FT8/FT4, RTTY and PSK on the HF bands.   
      
   Just remember before you get on the air: put your best - and possibly   
   your biggest - foot forward.   
      
   This is Ralph Squillace KK6ITB.
