TARA ( Troy Amateur Radio Association)  from Troy, NY is proud to announce 
the  6th annual running of the "Grid Dip  PSK/RTTY Shindig" contest to be held 
on  August 2, 2008 @ 00:00  UTC.  This also serves as the first of four 
contests for the 2008/2009 TARA  Tour'ney. Check out the Tour'ney info at:

This is a really great mid summer contest  that allows all of us to sharpen 
our skills for the really big events this  coming fall/winter. Plus, I'm sure a 
few of you have been working on the antenna  farm or making changes to the 
shack and this contest can serve as a shake  down run for you. 
 
We'd really like to see the participation  from the RTTY op's to increase 
this time so we can get some RTTY verses PSK  chatter happening. After all we 
don't want to see the PSK'ers having all this  fun by themselves now, do we! 
Seriously, we really need to have more  representation from the RTTY folks for 
this contest. I know it's not as  challenging or action packed as the RTTY 
Roundup or some of the other major  RTTY contests but that doesn't mean you still 
can't have some fun. So what do  you say. How about dusting off the old 'green 
keys' for a little bit come this  weekend.   
 
If anyone needs any information feel free  to contact TARA's "Grid Dip" 
Manager, Tony Heatwole, N3FX at _tony at ajheatwole.com_ (mailto:tony at ajheatwole.com)  
 He'll be more  than glad to assist you in any way that he can. If I can be 
of any service  simply drop me an email at _ny2u at n2ty.org_ 
(mailto:ny2u at n2ty.org)  and  I too will be more than glad to assist you. 
 
Also, keep in mind you DO NOT have to  worry about paper logs and mailing 
them in. Nope! We have our very own online  score submission system for all to 
use. Sending your score in has never been so  easy. Although, you should ALWAYS 
save a copy of your contest log in case the  contest committee ever needed to 
review it, should a problem arise.
