Dear friends and contesters,

ES OPEN HF Championship 2008 will take place next Saturday, April 19th,
from 0500 to 0859 UTC on 40m and 80m! We invite you to participate in
this nice small contest. There will be many ES stations active and
contest is held both in SSB and CW.

International winners get special trophies from ERAU plus all country
winners will be awarded. There is also a special LP trophy.

Please check the results and rules from www.erau.ee:

Rules are very easy: the contest consists of 4 equal one hour periods
where you can work a station once on both bands. Thus 8 times maximum in
total during the contest. Foreign stations can work ES stations only and
multipliers are ES region prefixes (0 to 9) on both bands and modes. So
20 for CW/SSB and 40 for Mixed class.

CW QSOs give 2 points and SSB 1 point. Report is RST + QSO number.

Text format logs (cabrillo preferred) should be sent to esopen at erau.ee

You can use WPX configuration of different logging programs as ES
prefixes are all multipliers. Just have to clean dupe sheet after every
hour or start new log. In Rules you will also find instructions how to
use Win-Test logging software!


hope to CU on Saturday!
