Hello,

I'd like to remind you that the RSGB 7 MHz DX Contest is taking place next
weekend from 1500Z 26 Feb to 0900Z 27 February.

Frequency: 7000-7030   CW only.   Please do not solicit QSOs between
7000-7005.

Exchange:
UK stations send RST-Serial-District Code
Overseas Stations send RST-Serial

Simple rules:
Single Op and Multi Op entries.

Sections:
a) UK Open
b) UK Restricted (100w output / single element antenna max height 15m)
c) EU (inc. EI)
d) NA, SA, AF, AS
e) OC

Overseas stations can only work UK stations and vice versa.

Overseas stations in section c) score 5 pts / QSO, section d) score 15 pts /
QSO, and in section e) 30 pts / QSO.   Multipliers are the district codes.
Final score = QSO pts x no. of multipliers.

UK stations similarly score 5 pts / QSO for contacting stations in section
c)  15 pts / QSO for section d) and 30 pts for section e).   UK multipliers

| An observation...
| I noticed in the ARRL Contest on Sunday that the first US station to appear
| on 10m was W3LPL, at about 1120z, around 28.011. It's interesting that they
| were up to an S8 or more, and no other W/VE stations had even begun to
| appear. It would be interesting to compare the LPL 10m antenna system with
| the other east coast big guns, because they were obviously doing something
| well different. This phenomenon only lasted about 15 mins. Maybe other
| Europeans noticed?

In Finland the 1st NA station (both days) on 10ms was VO1MP. He was audible at least 20 minutes before any USA stations. The 1st USA on Saturday was K1RX. On Sunday K1s and K2s were S9 at the time when K3LR or W3LPL were just in the noise.
