[SECC] RAC Canada Day Contest

[John Laney]

Hello all:

If you haven't already discovered it, the RAC Canada Day Contest is a 
lot of fun.  I have made almost 500 QSOs before leaving for work today 
and have made QSOs on all bands 160 through 10M, mostly CW but a large 
number on SSB.  Canadians send their Province or Territory and others 
send a sequential serial number.  It will continue until 8 PM tonight 
EDT or 2359Z.  It is in celebration of the Canadian National Holiday. 
There are a lot of Canadians on and QSOs with them count for mults and 
more points than with others, but everyone can be worked for points. 
There are a good number of DX stations looking for QSOs.  I have worked 
a lot of SA, CA (including special call TG1B), Europe, and some Asia 
stations (UA9/0, 4X, and JA) plus NP2X from the Caribbean.  Activity is 
centered around 025 kHz on CW and 1850, 3775, 7225 (but all the way down 
to 7128), 14175, 21250, and 28500.  So, if you are looking for something 
interesting and fun to do today up until 8 EDT tonight, make a few QSOs 
in this contest and wish our neighbors to the north a happy national 
holiday.  73, John, K4BAI.
