Howdy Folks:
 
On behalf of TARA's Digital Contesting Team I'd like to personally thank  all 
of you that once again participated in this year's running of the TARA RTTY  
Mêlée -- sponsored by the Troy Amateur Radio Association. This was our 16th 
year  of sponsoring this contest and we're already getting ready for year 
number 
17 in  2008! 
 
I can honestly say at first I didn't think it was going to be a good year  
for the contest when I flipped my radio on but as the night wore on things got  
better. It seems that 40 Meters and 80 Meters were a pleasant surprise for all 
 this year. And, yesterday 20 Meters came alive as it always does for this  
contest. Pretty much 10 Meters was a BUST! On 15 Meters I did notice a little  
activity but not enough to keep anyone on there running them as I could tell. 
As  for 160 Meters, I haven't hear from anyone that made any Q's on that band. 
 
I personally noticed quite a few new stations in this year's Melee and I  
thank each of you for trying our contest out. I hope you found the contest to 
be  
exciting and I'd sure like to hear some input from you folks on what you 
think  of this contest. Please, take the extra time to go to our web site and 
submit  your score using our on-line score submission. There is no need to 
bundle 
your  logs up and mail them out for everything is handled on-line. It will 
only take  you a few minutes to completely submit your score and we'd be 
grateful 
if  you'd do that for us. 
 
Okay, so you want to submit your score, that's cool. Just go to:
 
(_http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_melee_score.html_ 
(http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_melee_score.html) )
 
Again, I say this each year, every log counts! It doesn't matter if you made 
600 QSO's  or just 6 QSO's SUBMIT THAT SCORE!! You'd be surprised at how many 
folks just  don't take the 5 minutes to submit their score and we've made it 
so simple.  Please, do this for us. 
 
I'll try and give you an update in a couple of days. Until then you can  keep 
your eye on the scores by going to: 
 
(_http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_melee_results.html_ 
(http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_melee_results.html) )
 
Ernie Mills, WM2U, will be updating the web site as fast as he can with the  
scores that are submitted. Keep in mind that the scores are review first 
before  they are posted. Each year we get some folks that think the system is 
broke 
 because they don't see their score posted immediately. Now you know the 
reason  why that doesn't happen. Usually, Ernie gets them post with 24 hours of 
them  being submitted. However, seeing how Ernie just retired he has a lot of  
activities that keep him busy these day's. :-) 
 
If anyone has any questions that I can help you with just drop me an email  
at: _ny2u@n2ty.org_ (mailto:ny2u@n2ty.org)  
 
Again, thanks ever so much for supporting our contest and I hope you'll be  
joining us for many of year's to come!
 
 
73 - Bill  NY2U
And do not forget the TARA sponsored  contests...
