Hello!This e-mail is to invite all contesters to have a go in the European Sprint contests 2006. Please remember that, starting this year, we made a couple of chages to the Eu Sprint rules. The first change will apply to ALL the four events. The time has been moved 1 (one) hour ahead. The four Sprints will begin at 16:00 UTC and will end at 19:59 UTC. The second change will apply only to the two SPRING events. Modes will be switched so the first 2006 Sprint (April 8) will be CW (Manager G4BUO). The second 2006 event (April 15) will be SSB (Manager 9A6XX). If you're wondering which software to use, DL2NBU's program has been written specially for this contest. It is very much like K1EA's CT, and it is FREE for download from the new Eu Sprint web site <http://www.eusprint.com>. SD by EI5DI, TRLog by N6TR, WriteLog, Win-Test, N1MM Contest Logger (and many others) all support the Eu Sprint, and if you prefer to log on paper, that's fine as well. We accept any fixed column ASCII file, too. So, we hope you will give the Sprints a try in April and in October, and then send your logs to <eusprint@kkn.net>. The full Eu Sprint rules are shown below. 73 from the EU Sprint Gang G4BUO, I2UIY, OK2FD & 9A6XX ------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Eu Sprint: - download the FREE software, - rules in English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portugese, Russian, Czech, German, Polish, Greek, Croatian - all past results from 1994, - download full logs and ubn reports, - all time records, - find more information about Log Checking, - and much more about the Eu Sprint....
