Hello all:

There are three contests this weekend that might see some activity that 
we could work from here.  I always enjoy the Croatian CW Contest and I 
suspect RTTY contesters enjoy the OK RTTY DX Contest.  I think I have 
heard stations calling for the Naval contest before.

1.  OK RTTY DX Contest.  0000 UTC to 2400 UTC Dec 20 (Sat).  80 to 10 M. 
  Exchange RST + CQ zone (05 for GA, SC, NC, 04 for AL).

2.  Croatian CW Contest.  1400 UTC Sat to 1400 UTC Sun.  CW only.  160 
to 10 M.  Exchange RST+ serial number.  10 minute rule applies except 
for quick QSY for mult.  You can use the CQ WPX template in your logging 
program or any other that will accept RST and serial number.  You may 
want to figure your score manually or maybe just leave it to the contest 
checkers.  I seem to remember that they want a summary sheet and a file 
such as NA's .PRN or CT's .ALL rather than a Cabrillo file.  So, I guess 
you will have to figure your score and put it on the summary sheet.

3.  International Naval Contest.  CW, SSB.  80 through 10 M.  I forgot 
to note the dates and times.  Exchange:  Naval club members:  RS(T) =+ 
club +serial #.  Non naval members:  RS(T) + serial #.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend and a nice Christmas.

The next weekend will find a 24-hour Canada Day Contest on both modes 
and running 160 through 6 M and the 160 meter Stew Perry Challenge on 
160 CW.

73,

John, K4BAI.
