[VHFcontesting] 2004 CQ WW VHF Contest

[John Lindholm]

VHF Enthusiasts Worldwide:
 
In spite of generally flat conditions everywhere during the July 17 - 18 CQ WW VHF Contest, response entries have been very good....nearly on pace with the previous year's phenomenal conditions.  I have requests from clubs who are transcribing paper logs for e-entry to extend the deadline past September 1....thus the robot will accept logs for several more days yet.  To show your support for this VHF contest, please submit even the most modest of scores via e-mail attachment to cqvhf at cqww.com.  An hourly update of logs received is posted on http://www.cqww.com/2004vhflogs.htm.  Paper entries may be entered on-line at http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/cqwwvhf_cab.php or snail mailed to CQ VHF Contest, 25 Newbridge Rd., Hicksville, NY 11801 USA.  ALL entries are published in the official results in CQ Magazine.  We'd be glad to help you with any questions regarding entry at vhfquestions at cqww.com.
 
Plaques to be issued for the first time in the 2004 contest have just come back from the vendor.  Let me tell you, this is one BEAUTIFUL plaque....that top scorers will be proud to display in their shacks.  See the digital image on page 92, July CQ.  The response for sponsorship has been good....but individual and club sponsors are still needed.  Please see www.cq-amateur-radio.com for details on sponsoring a plaque.
 
The CQ World-Wide family of contests attracts thousands of HF entries.  Let's continue to move the VHF sibling in the same direction:  SUBMIT YOUR SCORE.  TNX,  73, and may all your clouds be of the E variety.
