[Elecraft] NAQCC August Sprint
This Tuesday evening, the North American QRP CW Club will be holding its monthly sprint. Here are the particulars: Date and time: Wednesday, August 15th, 0030-0230 UTC (Remember that's Tuesday evening here in the USA) That's 8:30 - 10:30 EDT, 7:30 - 9:30 CDT, 6:30 - 8:30 MDT and 5:30 - 7:30 PDT.

General: A particular station may be worked once on each band. Operate CW only. All licensed amateurs are invited to participate, but only those operating QRP (5 watts or less) are eligible for awards. Call: CQ NA Exchange: RST - SPC (State Province or Country) - NAQCC Nr.

Multipliers: Each USA state Each VE province Each country except W/VE All multipliers count only once in the contest. Bonus: If you use only a straight key for the entire sprint, multiply your score by 2. If you use only a bug for the entire sprint, multiply your score by 1.5.

GAIN - gain antennas - for those using other than a simple wire antenna. Special Award: The purpose of having a special award is to perhaps award a certificate to someone who knows they can't win one of the regular 1st/2nd/TNW certificates, but would still like one of our beautiful NAQCC certificates to display in the shack. Our special award this month goes to the one with the highest score who has in his log a station starting with A,K,N, and W. The winner will win a set of CD's features K7QO, Chuck Adams' code course designed to increase code speed. Please see: http://www.arm-tek.net/~yoel//sprint200708.html for further details. REMEMBER: You HAVE to be a NAQCC member to be eligible to win the CDs; and there's still plenty of time to join before Tuesday night's sprint.
