Greeting's:
I hope all of you are gearing up for the TARA RTTY Mêlée this coming
weekend. This contest is a lot of fun, plus it provides each of you with an
opportunity to "tune & prune" your station for the ARRL RTTY Roundup come
January. This contest first entered the sceen back in the early 90's as the
TARA RTTY Sprint. Since then we've continued to grow thanks to all of our
dedicated digital contesting friends.
Below you'll find the info for TARA's Mêlée. If you need any additional
information I'd be more than glad to assist you. Simply drop me an e-mail at
mailto:melee-manager@n2ty.org

I ask for all you you to please check out our web site for information on
the TARA Tour'ney. In the TARA Tour'ney, the contestants are competing for
the honor of emerging as the annual "King" or "Queen" of digital contesting.
The
scores to achieve this are an aggregate of all their individual Tour'ney
credits derived from their scores from the four (4) TARA All Season
Contests.
By the way, the Mêlée is part of the Tour'ney program. You can check this
out at:
n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney.html
In addition, TARA now sponsors our very own HF "Digital" Awards Program.
The
TARA-PX and TARA-Grid are two awards that you'll want to display in your
shack.
We believe that the TARA-PX is the only Digital Prefix Award available since
the WPX is SSB and CW only. Plus they're FREE!!
The TARA-PX Award is a full service award offering Mixed, RTTY and PSK
certification. If you feel that you qualify for a non-listed digital mode,
please request that we review your information. The full info can be found
at:
n2ty.org/seasons/tara_awards.html
Again, I look forward to printing you real soon!
