Greeting's:
 
I hope all of you are gearing up for the TARA RTTY Mêlée this coming  
weekend. This contest is a lot of fun, plus it provides each of you with an  
opportunity to "tune & prune" your station for the ARRL RTTY Roundup come  January. 
 
Below you'll find the info for the Mêlée. If you need any additional  
information I'd be more than glad to assist you. Simply drop me an e-mail at

I ask for all you you to please check out our web site for information on  
the TARA Tour'ney. In In the  TARA Tour'ney, the contestants are competing for 
the honor of  emerging as the annual King or Queen of the digital  modes. The 
scores to achieve this are an aggregate of all their individual  Tour'ney 
credits derived from their scores from the four (4) TARA All Season  Contests. By 
the way, the Mêlée is part  of the Tour'ney program so check it out at:

In addition TARA now sponsors our very own HF "Digital"  Awards  Program. The 
TARA-PX and the TARA-Grid. The TARA-PX  is the only Digital Prefix Award 
available since the WPX is SSB  and CW only.
 
     
The TARA-PX Award is a full service  award offering Mixed, RTTY and  PSK 
certification. If you feel that you qualify for a  non-listed digital mode, please 
request that we review your  information. The full info can be found at:
