[WriteLog] TRIATHLON DX Contest

[Kostas Stamatis]

Tnx Gary
I hope Steve prepare a module for Triathlon-DX-Contest. There is a lot of 
time until next February. Normally you can log the qsos with ww rtty module 
but you loose the fun of the mults and score.
About the date ... XE rtty contest starts at 18 utc when rtty section of 
Triathlon will have been finished. There is an overlap with Black Sea Cup 
International for 12 hours (it starts at 12 utc of Saturday) but as you 
know, we have contests all weekends and we can not do more on this. North 
American sprint on cw starts after the end of Triathlon.

>> Triathlon DX Contest announcement
>> It all started in August of 2011. That was about when it occurred to 
>> Mike, SV5BYR that a big Greek Contest was missing from international Ham 
>> Radio Contest Calendar.  By the end of September this idea became mature 
>> and so the  "Triathlon" was born! A triathlon is a multi- sport event 
>> involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance 
>> events. And as you have already guessed, it is a Greek word. We had to 
>> change a bit the name to Triathlon Dx Contest to match our activity. 
>> Actually, trying here to simulate the original Triathlon athletic event, 
>> we involved three major ham radio modes, SSB, CW, RTTY. It will be a 24 
>> hour non-stop event divided in three sections, each one devoted to a 
>> different mode. There are some tentative rules of the contest that you 
>> can take a look. It will take place every Saturday, the 1st full weekend 
>> of February, debuting on 02-02-2013.

>> After all, what makes this particular contest unique is the special gift 
>> for the winner! (take a look to the prize page)
>>
>>
>>
>> In this point we have to mention all the Greek amateurs who are working 
>> to make this event alive: SV1DPI, SV1NK, SV2AGW, SV2DCD, SV5BYR, SV7JAR, 
>> SV8CS, SV8RX, SV9GPV, SV9DJO…
>>
>> There is still a lot of work to be done and more details to be announced. 
>> Stay tuned!
