Hello everyone:
Below you should find a reminder of the WAE contests for this year from
DL6FBL. The CW contest is this coming weekend. 48 hours, but single
ops can work only 36 hours. Let's hope band conditions will give us 36
hours of propagation into Europe! Note that the suggested address for
e-mail log submissions is changed in the message below. The SSB weekend
is Sept 13 and 14 and the RTTY weekend is November 8 and 9.
Remember that there is a club combined score competition for all the WAE
contest together. Last year, SECC had 8 logs submitted and was in place
#5 in the USA. FRC, PVRC, YCCC, and SMC were ahead of SECC and FCG,
TCG, WWA and SCCC were behind.
73,
John, K4BAI.

Dear John, K4BAI!
The WAE DX Contest 2003 CW is coming up this weekend! The HF bands
will
be filled with stations asking for "QTC?" - the characteristic
signal of
the WAEDC.
I would like to invite you to take part in this European event and
make
it more interesting by being on the air. If you have only little
time,
just get on for a few hours! Or if time permits, try to become #1
from
your continent and receive a beautiful plaque!
Here are the dates for the 2002 events:
CW: August 9/10, 2003
SSB: September 13/14, 2003
RTTY: November 8/9, 2003
starting 00:00 UTC Saturday --- ending 23:59 UTC Sunday
Complete rules are available from the WAEDC Web Site at
http://www.waedc.de
There you will also find additional information. If you have no
access to
the Internet, let me know what you need and I can mail it to you. We
still
have results from last year's event available bound in a nice
booklet.
