Topband: PreStew / LowBand Jack (VE1ZZ) scores

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Excellent! Good on the Boring ARC for keeping this fine fellows spirit alive
in the ether...

 

Happy to have contributed a tiny amount to help preserve Jack's/ZZ's memory
for all.

 

Maybe when you get the website adapted to this new name for this event you
could include some of K1ZM's

comments as they are quite spot on.

-----------=============

The preliminary scores for the recent PreStew / LBJ contest are

continuously updated on the Stew web site - www.kkn.net/stew.

 

It seems that activity AND conditions were pretty good around the world and

there are some impressive scores.  We almost have 300 logs submitted and I

would like to encourage anyone who was active to submit their log.  This is

especially true for those who were running low or QRP power - as the people

who worked you will get bonus points if you send in your log confirming the

QSO.

 

The new name - LowBand Jack - for this event was inspired by the recent

passing of Jack, VE1ZZ, who is a TopBand legend.  The October event will

now be called the LowBand Jack.

 

Many thanks to all of the people who got on and filled up the band with

beautiful sounding CW.  Mark your calendars for December 29th for the "Big"

Stew.

-----------------------------------

p.s.- Tree, If you do make it into its own (real) contest, one thing to

think about is probably NOT using "VE1ZZ" in the title. (just in the

description on the website)

 

 

A 2-letter call VE call like that, unless picked up by one of his

kids(unlikely), is apt to be reissued very fast, in about 365 days +/- to

someone else.

 

 

Call it "Jack/ZZ",  "Nova Scotia Jack" "160m Jack", "LowBand Jack" or

something.
