**************************************************************************

We   have   the   plaesure   to  invite   all  amateurs to participate the
SP DX Contest 2005. This year the  event  takes place   on   April  2 - 3.
SP DX Contest  is  a  single-country  event:   you can contact only Polish
stations but there is always a great activity from Poland so you will have
a lot of work during the contest.

Please visit http://www.contest.spdxc.org.pl/ for compete contest rules in
many  language   versions  and  for  information  about  logging software,
special, awards, previous years results etc.

In  the  same  time  we  would  like  to inform that we have some delay in
sending  of  the results and  awards for the SPDXC 2004. We are very sorry
for this situation. It happened because of job and family problems of some
members of the Contest Committee. We are working hard to overtake. We will
do our best to be better organized in the future.
