Yes, Salmon Madness began back in 1991 when the WWDXC picked up the
Washington State QSO Party from the Boeing BEARS, renamed it the
Washington Salmon Run, and the rest is history! From a few dozen
participants those first few years the Salmon Run has become an annual
fixture on the contest calendar with nearly 300 participants the past
two years. More than a contest, it is truly a QSO Party with stations
all over the state chasing each other to see who can work all 39
counties along with making hundreds of QSOs with stations across North
America and around the world. Our idea of Smoked Salmon awards has
become a model for other state QSO Parties as well.
Check out the 2011 Salmon Run webpage on www.wwdxc.org and plan to get
on for the 20th Anniversary Washington Salmon Run, September 17 - 18,
2011.
Cheers,
Steve K7LXC
