I guess I spoke too soon. After I posted the 'last' Score Rumor list, there
was a flurry of activity in my Internet mailbox, including a late but great
score from K5NA/2 (relayed by KI3L) which broke into the Top 10 Scores, Top
10 QSOs and Top 10 Mult lists!! There was also quite a bit of activity in
the team scores, so you may want to look them over again as well (although
the Sultans still reign).
As always, corrections/additions go to ka9fox@aol.com

P.S. A new babe has appeared in my life... signs are it might last, oh, at
least a few weeks. Heck, I even sprang for a dozen yellow roses! Those on
the BABE.LIST can expect an update very shortly. Those that want to get on
the BABE.LIST can e-mail a request to ka9fox@aol.com

From: Rick, K7GM" <AONISWAN@ECUVM.CIS.ECU.EDU (Rick, K7GM)
Subject: Sprint Rules
Attached are the Sprint rules and dates for September 1994 and
February 1995.
For those of you wondering, the certificates from Phone will be
completed this weekend and will be mailed out next Tues or Wed (barring a
blowup of the laser printer). Plaques (including CW) will go out the
same day.
CU in September (and October, and November.....)
73, Rick, K7GM
RULES
NORTH AMERICAN SPRINT CONTESTS
1. ELIGIBILITY. Any licensed radio amateur may enter.
2. OBJECT. To work as many North American stations (and/or other stations if
you are in North America) as possible during the contest.
3. ENTRY CLASSIFICATION. Single operator only. Use of helpers or spotting
nets is not permitted.
4. CONTEST PERIODS. 0000 through 0359 UTC. CW Sprints are September 11, 1994
(Saturday night, September 10, local time) and February 19, 1995 (Saturday
night, February 18, local time). Phone Sprints are September 18, 1994
(Saturday night, September 17, local time) and February 12, 1995 (Saturday
night, February 11, local time). These are two entirely separate four-hour
Sprints. An entrant may submit scores for one or more Sprints, but he may not
combine his scores. Note that the CW sprint is first in September and second
in February.
5. MODE. CW only in CW Sprints, Phone only in Phone Sprints.
6. BANDS: 80, 40, and 20 meters only. Suggested frequencies are around 3540,
7040, and 14040 on CW, and 3850, 7225, and 14275 on Phone. You may work the
same station once per band.
7. EXAHANGE. To have a valid exchange, you must send all of the following
information: the other station's call, your call, your serial number, your
name, and your location (state, province or country). For example:
N6TR DE K7GM 154 RICK NC K
K7GM NR 122 TREE OR DE N6TR K
8. VALID CONTACT. A valid contact consists of a complete, correctly copied
and logged two-way exchange between a North American station and another
station. Proper logging requires including the time of each contact. Serial
numbers must begin with serial number one (1) and must be sequential
thereafter. Regardless of the number of licensed callsigns issued to a given
operator, one and only one callsign shall be utilized during the constest by
that operator.
9. NORTH AMERICAN STATION. Defined by the rules of the CQ WW DX Contests.
10. SCORING. Multiply total valid contacts by the sum of US States, Canadian
provinces and other North American countries to get final score (do not count
USA and Canada as countries). KH6 is not counted as a state and is not a
North American country (but counts for QSO credit). The eight Canadian
multipliers are Maritime (VE1, VO1, and VO2), VE2 through VE7, and Yukon-NWT
(VY1 and VE8). Non-North American countries do not count as multipliers, but
do count for QSO credit for North American stations.
11. SPECIAL QSY RULE. If any station solicits a call (by sending CQ, QRZ?,
QRZ, or any other means of soliciting a response), he is permitted to work
only one station in response to that solicitiation. He must thereafter move
at least 1 kHz before he works any other station, or at least 5 kHz before he
again solicits other calls. Once a station is required to QSY, another QSO
cannot be made on the vacated frequency until or unless at least one
subsequent QSO is made on a new frequency at least 1 kHz or 5 kHz (as
appropriate) from the vacated frequency.
12. ADDITIONAL RULES. Simultaneous transmission on more than one frequency is
prohibited. All contacts must be sent and received using means requiring
real-time human intervention, detection, and initiation.
13. REPORTING. CW Sprint entries must be sent to Tree Tyree, N6TR, 15125 SE
Bartell Road, Boring, OR 97009. Phone Sprint entries must be sent to Rick
Niswander, P.O. Box 3778, Greenville, NC 27836. Entries must be received no
later than 30 days after the Sprint to be eligible for trophies and awards.
An entry consists of (1) a summary sheet showing the number of valid contacts
by band, total contacts, total multiplier, total score, name, callsign and
address of the operator, station callsign and station location, whether low
power (150 watts or less) was used, and name used; (2) a complete, legible log
of all contacts (including dupes marked as such) with indication by numbered
sequence of each multiplier claimed; and (3) a separate check sheet for each
band. Logs, summary sheets, and check sheets may be home-made or patterned
after those published periodically in the NCJ or available from the contest
coordinators listed above.
You are encouraged to send your log in computer readable form, either by
diskette or by e-mail. If your log is submitted by diskette, the output from
any of the popular logging programs is appropriate. Summary sheets are not
required. If you are submitting your log by e-mail, send your logs to:
CW Sprint Logs: tree@cmicro.com
Phone Sprint Logs: aoniswan@ecuvm.cis.ecu.edu
14. TEAM COMPETITION. Team competition is limited to a maximum of 10
operators as a single entry unit. Groups having more than ten team members
may submit more than one team entry.
PRE-CONTEST REQUIREMENT. To qualify as a team entry, the name, callsign
of each operator, and callsign of the station operated should the operator be
a guest at a station other than his own (e.g., W6AQ operated by WA6OTU), must
be registered with N6TR for the CW Sprints or with K7GM for the Phone Sprints.
The team registration information must be in written, telegraphic, spoken, or
electronic form, and must be received before the start of the Sprint.
Submission by e-mail to the appropriate address listed above is a valid means
of submission as is a telephone call. There are neither distance limitations
nor meeting requirements for a team entry. The only requirement is pre-
registration of the team.
15. PENALTIES AND DISQUALIFICATION. For each unmarked duplicate QSO, you lose
that contact plus an additional three contacts. For each QSO for which you
are not in the other stations's log, you lose that QSO plus an additional one
contact. For each QSO for which the log data is incorrectly copied in any
respect, you lose that contact. Entries with score reductions in excess of 5%
may be disqualified. Any entry also may be disqualified for illegibility,
illegal or non-ethical operation. Such disqualification is at the discretion
of the NCJ Contest Review Committee.
16. AWARDS. A trophy or plaque will be awarded to the highest scoring
entrant. Certificates of merit will be awarded to the highest scoring entrant
from each USA or Canadian call district and other country; to each of the ten
highest scoring entrants; to each member of the winning team; and to the
highest scoring entrant on each team.

Subject: 80 Meter Contest Antenna
Message-ID: <12f.3317.400.0CAF1FF7@leclub.co.za>
The design below fell out of ELNEC after a couple of late
nights. It's a 2-element inverted-vee yagi for 80 meters.
The boomlength is 9.5 meters and the apex is at 30 meters.
I paid a bit in gain to get the impedance 50 ohms. The idea
is to construct the driven (wires 1 & 2) and reflector (wires
3 & 4) from stainless steel cable. Hope it will put Africa on
the map on 80! Any comments on the design?
