For those who do not have complete rules memorized, please refer to : http://www.arrl.org/222-mhz-and-up-distance-contest. The Contest Actually begins at 1100PDT on Saturday and runs for 24 hours.

Note: Because this contest relies on cumulative distances, you can work the same station more than once, but count only contact with the longest distance achieved.

To demonstrate ham radio licensees' use of these bands, please submit your score to the ARRL:    https://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/  and  the 3830 Rumor Page:      https://www.3830scores.com/index.php


Good Luck to All.
