[CQ-Contest] Re: MINITEST

[N7MAL]

Well I'm not the smartest jelly bean in the jar so I figured why re-invent
the wheel. I went to the 'mini-test' site and with a little(very little)
help from Babel-Fish I got this translation:

"""If in the evening on the media you have a free hour of the time from
18.00 to 19.00 utc, then you come to be trained in W -minikonteste in the
range 3520 - 3570 kHz. """

Russia, as we all know, is much bigger than the U.S. and 1800Z is 10 PM in
Moscow and, of course, even later the farther east you go.

I guess we need to re-invent the wheel because I don't think we would get
much participation for an 80 meter contest in the middle of the night. The
only way to make almost any contest fair is to handicap stations west of the
Rockies 10K+ points.

They call it "mini-test". One hour long every Wednesday night on 80 m CW.
RZ3AZ, I think, is one of the organizers.
