TARA ( Troy Amateur Radio Association) from Troy, NY is proud to announce
the 6th annual running of the "Grid Dip PSK/RTTY Shindig" contest to be held
on August 2, 2008 @ 00:00 UTC. This also serves as the first of four
contests for the 2008/2009 TARA Tour'ney. Check out the Tour'ney info at:

This is a really great mid summer contest that allows all of us to sharpen
our skills for the really big events this coming fall/winter. Plus, I'm sure a
few of you have been working on the antenna farm or making changes to the
shack and this contest can serve as a shake down run for you.
We'd really like to see the participation from the RTTY op's to increase
this time so we can get some RTTY verses PSK chatter happening. After all we
don't want to see the PSK'ers having all this fun by themselves now, do we!
Seriously, we really need to have more representation from the RTTY folks for
this contest. I know it's not as challenging or action packed as the RTTY
Roundup or some of the other major RTTY contests but that doesn't mean you
still
can't have some fun. So what do you say. How about dusting off the old 'green
keys' for a little bit come this weekend.
If anyone needs any information feel free to contact TARA's "Grid Dip"
Manager, Tony Heatwole, N3FX at _tony@ajheatwole.com_
(mailto:tony@ajheatwole.com)
He'll be more than glad to assist you in any way that he can. If I can be
of any service simply drop me an email at _ny2u@n2ty.org_
(mailto:ny2u@n2ty.org) and I too will be more than glad to assist you.
Also, keep in mind you DO NOT have to worry about paper logs and mailing
them in. Nope! We have our very own online score submission system for all to
use. Sending your score in has never been so easy. Although, you should ALWAYS
save a copy of your contest log in case the contest committee ever needed to
review it, should a problem arise.
Please see our web site now for the full details. Go to:

Thanks for reading this message. Hope to print you this weekend!
