[CQ-Contest] International FT Challenge #ContestMode

[ed at w0yk.com]

The annual International FT Challenge begins in 2 hours. 

A unique characteristic of this FT contest is the exchange which is the default daily FT exchange of Grid Locator and SNR.  Accordingly, any QSO partner is valid, even if they are not consciously "in the contest".  While QSOs can be made anywhere, including the standard daily FT sub-bands, the contest rules recommend alternate sub-bands to reduce congestion:

Distance-based scoring provides a more level playing field.  QRP and Low Power only (100 watts maximum).  Full rules at link above. 

Submitted logs are scored on the first 24 hours of operation out of the 30-hour contest period.  However, you may operate as much of the time desired.
