Don't forget, this is the final contest for this year's  "Four  Season's 
Tour'ney." It's going to be interesting to see  who  is going to take top 
honor's in this year's Tour'ney. 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. Each  contest is a  separate entity and has its own awards. The 
results of each will be   displayed on the Tara Results web page where you will find 
the results of  all  the contests for the Tour'ney year as they are run. The 
results so far  can be  seen at:

For all of you that love to chase awards TARA has you  covered! Back in  2004 
- TARA proudly introduced its ALL NEW "Four  Season's  Awards Program" which 
consists of the TARA-PX and the TARA  Grid  Awards. 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 TARA-Grid  Award is an  excellent companion to our Four Seasons,  
Grid-Dip 
Contest. All contest  entries qualify for inclusion  in your TARA-Grid Award. 
You need only  300 different four(4) digit  Grid Squares to claim your Basic  
certificate.

In line with our OnLine  recognition program, you  will find all the 
individual award  statistics on our Award Record Web  Site(s).  These can  be accessed 
below under each Award  heading.....another  system that  TARA is pioneering. 
Your  operating prowess will be there for the entire  world to see, instead 
of  
only visitors to your shack.  

Come check out our awards program  at:
