W2AGN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the qrplist gang
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know if this has made the QRP-Losers list. Since it is an actual
QRP operating event, and not Echolink, probably it was moderated.
Official Rules for the Zombie Shuffle
Why: Because Zombies don't sprint.
When: Friday Nite, October 28, 2005
Any 4-hour period you choose from your local sundown to
local midnight. You can split it into two sessions if
interruptions are unavoidable. Just for the record, your
local sundown will be 6 p.m. and if your local weather
people disagree, I'll zap 'em with a spell!!!!
Special DX Rule: operate any 4-hour period as above,
or split it into two sessions if you need to, between
2200Z 10/25 to 0700Z 10/26. This includes HI and AK.
Special Note: if you're just having too much fun to quit
and want to hang out and pass out points, that's fine!
Just submit your best 4 hours. But make note of these
special contacts in your log so you don't get all
confused or something :)
Where: 20, 40, and 80 meters
Somewhere in the vicinity of the QRP gathering/calling
frequencies (14.060, 7.040, 7.110, 3.560, 3.710), be
considerate of others because they may not know about
Zombies, also spend some time in the Novice frequencies
too....all Zombies are brothers in spirit after all.
How: CW only
QRP only (5 watts or less power out)
What do I say: RST, SPC, Zombie number, Name (+ age if /JR)
-RST is a signal report
-SPC means state, province, or DXCC country
-Zombie Number is that series of numbers at the
bottom of your Zombie badge....or you can
use your local telephone area code if you
don't have a Zombie number; please use
only one number (if you have more than one
Zombie number you might want to use the
higher of the two since it's worth more
points ;> )
-Name is what everybody calls you....watch it!
Notes: if you're a YL op, then send "Elvira" as your name
if you're a Junior Zombie station (any op that's 18 yrs or
younger, and is a Novice/Tech+ or working with a
control operator present, such as an Elmer or someone
who is licensed to use the above frequencies) then add
/JR after the callsign used and remember to add your
age after your name
Okay, one more note: everybody decided CQ BOO was fun to use
(and a lot shorter) for calling CQ
Fun Scoring: Your score is going to be the sum of all Zombie numbers
and telephone area codes worked on ALL bands! Stations
can only be worked once per band however. Then you're
going to add in all the special bonus points and stuff
to arrive at a really big score! Use the Official Zombie
Score Sheet... it's a whole lot easier than trying to
explain it all here.
Okay, now what: Send your completed score sheets (only) by December 1,
2005, to the Contest Coroner below via snail mail or
e-mail.
Who's the Contest Coroner: Well, that'd be lil ol' me...
Jan Harden, N0QT
Zombie Shuffle Contest Coroner
PO Box 1768
Socorro NM 87801
You can e-mail your score sheet to the Contest Coroner...
Please use plain ASCII text ONLY!!!! No fancy-schmancy stuff
(like html or word processor documents and spreadsheets or
jpg files or anything) because it will be deleted by the
system. Be sure to put your Callsign and "Zombie Shuffle"
in the subject line and send it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
72 and Ghouled Luck in the contest!
Jan, N0QT
