Greeting's:
It's time that we start gearing up for the next running of the TARA RTTY
Mêlée which is coming up on December 2, 2006. We had a FANTASTIC response to
our
contest last year and I hope it will even be better this year. For those of
you "NEW" to RTTY contesting this contest is the perfect warm up for the ever
popular ARRL RTTY Roundup in January. For those of you that might be trying
out some new antennas or software packages, I'm sure you'll find the Mêlée a
perfect opportunity for you to ready your station for the many contests
coming up this winter.
Below, you'll find the info for the Mêlée. If you need any additional
information I'd be more than glad to assist you. Simply drop me an e-mail at:

I ask for all 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 the digital modes. 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 so check it out at:
(_http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney.html_
(http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney.html) )
In addition TARA now sponsors our very own HF "Digital" Awards Program.
The TARA-PX and the TARA-Grid. The TARA-PX is the only Digital Prefix Award
available since the WPX is SSB and CW only.
The TARA-PX Award is a full service award offering Mixed, RTTY and PSK
certification for FREE! until January 2007. 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:

Again, I look forward to printing you real soon!
