[CQ-Contest] More DX Contest Fun - VU International

[Ward Silver]

Prasad VU2PTT reminded me that I'd left the VU International contest out of the 21 Nov issue of the Contest Update.  It runs this weekend from 1200Z Dec 1 - 1200Z Dec 2 and the full rules can be found at www.arsi.info/contests/international.  This is a CW-and-phone everybody-works-Asia contest on 80-10 meters with VU stations sending their two-letter state abbreviation and everybody else sending serial number.  

If you are looking for something to do between periods of 160 meter activity during the ARRL 160 Meter Contest and the DX bug bit hard during CQ WW, here's a good contest for scratching that itch.  Please forward this information to your local and regional clubs so everybody knows about it.  ARSI is beginning to promote contesting in India and this is a good thing for all hams.
