[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 6m CW Contest 2012

[Chairman, RSGB Contest Committee]

The RSGB Contest Committee invites you to participate in the 
inaugural 50MHz CW contest.

This takes place on Sunday 24th June from 0900-1200 UTC (10 
a.m. - 1 p.m. BST), and it should appeal both to 6m 
enthusiasts and also to HF CW operators who have 6m 
facilities.  Conditions recently have been good, with 
Sporadic-E openings and some fine DX.  You can get on the 
air with a simple antenna such as a dipole, or perhaps press 
an HF antenna into service through an ATU.

The rules are at:

There are now three RSGB VHF CW contests, for 4m, 6m and 
2m,  with an award for the best overall performance.  We 
hope you will take part on Sunday.

73,

Ed Taylor, GW3SQX
