[CQ-Contest] ALL ASIAN DX Contest CW will come soon

[Hide JH8KYU]

Hi all,
I want to remind you of the upcoming All Asian DX Contest which will 
be held 1 week later. This contest must be a great oppotunity for you 
to get many Asian rare entities and many old friends in Asia. 

The contest period will be from 0000 6/15 to 2400 6/16.
When you contact any Asian station, please send RST + your age. 
For example, I send 59941 as I am 41 years old.
If you are a YL station, you can send 00 instead of your real age. 

The detailed rule can be found on the following JARL official page;
http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/4_Library/A-4-3_Contests/AADX.htm
The result of 2001 is rinked to the same page.

The only change from last year is regarding a special plaque.
There are not so many sponsors, however, you have a chance to get a 
special plaque from JARL. The plaques as of today is shown on the 
following page;
http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/4_Library/A-4-3_Contests/2002donor.htm

JARL doesn't provide a junior operators category, however, the
operator's 
age can be found from the exchange. So the Alumni Association of JA7YDX 
sponsors to the "Junior winner of sigle operator". If you are 18 years 
old or younger, please try to get this plaque. If you are a YL station 
and you are 18 years or younger, you had better write your real age on
the 
summary sheet. 

Though I wanted to notify this news to a lot of young operators, I 
don't have any address list of young operators. If there are young 
operators in your neighborhood or in your family, please tell him/her 
this event.

If you are a CT user, try to download a newer version from the following

year, and the ver 9.61 or later can be completeley fit to AADX.
