[UK-CONTEST] EU CW Sprint Today

[Dave Lawley]

The European CW Sprint contest takes place today, from 16.00 to 19.59UTC.

Once you call CQ or QRZ and make a QSO, you must QSY at least 2kHz 
before your next QSO, so no-one can gain an advantage by sitting on a 
frequency (or by 'warming up' a frequency before the start!)

The exchange is serial number (no RST needed) and name, and both sides 
of a QSO must send *both* callsigns. The contest is held on 20, 40 and 
80m.  Activity typically starts on 20, the middle period is spent on 40 
and then the last hour is mainly 80m.

It's a fun contest with a QSO format that keeps you on your toes, so I 
hope there will be lots of UK activity this year. The founder of the EU 
Sprints Paolo, I2UIY died in October last year and we look forward to a 
bumper entry this time in memory of Paolo.
