[CQ-Contest] VK SHIRES 2010

[VK4TI]

The VK SHIRES Contest is on again - 

there are no rule changes but we have two QLD Shires that have amalgamated.

Tactics in the VK Shires include - 

Making sure you work multipliers on both modes (they count twice) 

Running the Low band VK stations and ensuring a good day on 15 and 10M (if they are open)

JA stations are very aware of VK Shires as CQTESTWIN the Japanese language logger has a module - so make sure you benefit form the JA prescence and give them out your local shire..

If you are unsure of your Shire code the list is available at ;
