Categories:
SWA - simple wire antennas - for those using a simple wire antenna per
NAQCC definition.
GAIN - gain antennas - for those using other than a simple wire antenna.
Special Award:
For the one making the most QSO's in the last 30 minutes of the sprint
(0300-0330Z), but there's a catch. You must also have made at least 5
QSO's in the first 90 minutes. K3WWP will do all the figuring to see who
is eligible. You don't have to indicate on your entry anything about the
Special Award this time. Be sure your shack clock is set to the right
time. In cross-checking it is noticed that some folks' clocks are 5
minutes or more out of sync with everyone else.
Entry Deadline:
All entries must be RECEIVED before 2400Z on Feb 20, 2007. So submit as
soon as possible, especially regular mail entries.
