Howdy Folks:
Okay, it's time to ready yourselves and your station for the upcoming TARA
RTTY Melee to be held on December 6, 2008 at 00:00 UTC. Now, I'm totally
aware
that this just might not be your most favorite contest, according to a poll
that was
taken a year ago or so. But, it's been running since the early 1990's and
we're here to stay! Otherwise I'd be out of a job. With that in mind why
don't
you try this contest out and see if we can't put so 'fire in the wires' and
have ourselves a good old time while we're at it. As in year's past this
does
make an excellent chance for all of you to test your station out for the
ever popular ARRL Roundup in January. So, now you see this contest really
does
serve a purpose! Plus, if you submit your score you get the great
satisfaction
of knowing you're putting Ernie, WM2U and myself to work.
All kidding aside TARA is really proud to been running this contest for our
17th year without missing any in between. It hasn't been easy but we've been
quite fortunate that a good number of you have guided us along all these
years
with your support/input. And, without that it would have died long ago.
Please, come join us on December 6th for this contest. As I always say, we
need as
many of you as possible to join in and make it a success. If I can assist
any
of you in any way, shape or form just drop me an email at <_ny2u@n2ty.org_
(mailto:ny2u@n2ty.org) >
Even if you don't plan on participating in the full contest you're more than
welcome to join in on the fun.
Oh yes...as requested by a number of you folks we have added 160 Meters to
this contest! Give it a try if you can.
