The Araucaria DX Group, one of the top contester´s team in the world,
will promoted the 3th edition of AVHFC, the "Araucaria VHF Contest" on
May, 01 to 03; 2009. During the latests editions, more than 330 stations
were ready for DX on 6 meters and 2 meters, some of then in rare grids
squares from Brazil. The rules are almost the same of CQWW VHF, so any
contest software with CQWW VHF option is also usefull for AVHFC. The aim
is strenght the VHF DXing in South America as well offer to the world
wide VHF community new opportunities of DX in terms of new locators and
potential partners stations for future radio experiments. The
coordination produced the rules in english, spanish and portuguese
languages and they are avaiable on the website http://www.avhfc.org . So
