Spartan Sprint Contest Monday -
** See Special Note Below
The January Spartan Sprint will be held on January 3, 2005 (which is our
standard date--the first Monday of the month). It's two hours of fun as
you contact other QRP CW stations on 80, 40, 20, 15, and/or 10 meters.
The contest starts at 9 pm EST, 8 pm CST, 7 pm MST, and 6 pm PST and
runs for two hours. That's 0200-0400 UTC. The contest is Monday
night, even though the UTC is Tuesday morning.
The Spartan Sprint exchange is RST - State - Power (e.g. 559 MI 5W).
Contest details and rules are at
www.arsqrp.com/ars/pages/spartan_sprints/ss_rules_new.html
We will continue our special recognition for those who operate outdoors.
If you operate outdoors, please note it in your Soapbox comments after
the contest.
After the contest report your summary and score at the autolog at
www.ARSqrp.com/ars/ss_log.html
In your Soapbox comments after the contest, start by listing your radio
and antenna. We think everyone would be interested in this information.

We are asking that you note your state, province, or country as part of
your callsign when you fill out the autolog. Several members would like
to compare scores with others in their area.
The easiest way to do this is to append that info to your callsign in
the "Your Call" box of the autolog. For example, NA8M in Michigan would
enter 'NA8M-MI' in the "Your Call" box. VE3ELA in Ontario would enter
'VE3ELA-ON'.
If you are using the Spartan Sprint Logger, just enter the callsign with
QTH on the Sprint Web Submit screen as above. It will be automatically
entered on the web site when you hit 'Submit'.
