Dear Fellow Contesters,


it's another YU DX Contest season!

Last year an interesting international competition took place, as 
evidenced, for example, by 7 out of top 10 LOWER HP
stations being out of Europe. A suprising number of QRP stations 
appeared, with the most popular being, of course, LP.

It's a great pleasure to announce ALLBAND Plaque winners, who achieved 
the best combined LOWER and UPPER scores.
The global competition in all the categories certainly made it quite a 
success to reach even the middle ranks. Therefore,
we accepted the advice to award all the substantial scores, both as a 
recognition of the effort, and a way to say thanks.

The new rules worked well. The 4-hour rest period between 8-hour parts 
made it a more enjoyable event,
and the simple choice of operating on lower or upper bands (or both) has 
resulted in many more QSOs.

This year's YU DX Contest is an excellent opportunity to collect points 
for the jubilee "Nikola Tesla" award.

Please visit our web site  http://yudx.net  for more details and free 
software.


Wishing you the best of fun in the forthcoming YU DX Contest,


Sinisa  YT1NT, VE3EA
