To: Club Coordinators please send a note out or forward the bottom part
of this email to your club reflectors. All coordinators please form
teams for this weekend to encourage activity. Encourage contesters to
join teams and get on the air. We all know it is SSB but it is still a
contest and it can be fun with enough activity.
The SSB Sprint is this Saturday night. Activity in the last SSB Sprint
was up with logs received up over 100%! I want to thank all stations
that got on-- it was fun! Let?s do it again this weekend and make it
even better this time. More activity in the SSB Sprint will make it more
fun and enticing for everyone.
Suggested frequencies:
14150 to 14300
7128 to 7200
3750 to 3820 excluding 3790 to 3800 (DX Window)
When first calling a CQ please check the frequency and avoid other QSOs.
Here are some advantages of a sprint contest.
Simple exchange:
CONTACT NUMBER, starting w/ ONE, and your NAME AND STATE. (Contact
number only obstacle from normal QSO).
Great way to try and work AS MANY STATES AS POSSIBLE in only 4 hours long.
The sprint is a different kind of contest.
Fast moving but plenty of room for everyone.
Family oriented a full commitment takes only 4 hours on a Saturday night.
Learn the names of the contesters you work.
Enter for as long as you like. The more the merrier.
Plenty of ways to compete - High Power, Low Power, QRP.
160 Meter Antenna not required. (Only 3 bands-20, 40 and 80)
Form a team and have even more fun.
