In the contest calendar on page 70 of January Radcom, in the Contest
column, the date of SSB AFS is wrongly given as 18 Jan. It is correctly
given as 17 Jan in the article on page 87 of the same edition.
Since its inception in its present form in the 1970s, CW AFS has always
been on the second Sunday of January. When the phone contest was
introduced in the 1980s we decided to run it on the following Saturday,
in the belief there are more nets/ragchews on the band on Sunday
afternoon and we wanted to minimise interference.
To recap, phone AFS will be on Saturday 17th January. Apologies
for any confusion.
