This Week's Contests:
No QRP Fox Hunts. No NCCC Practices.
1. South Dakota QSO Party. 12 UCT Sat to 12 UTC Sun. All bands except
WARC, CW/Ph/Digital Exchange: RS(T) + SPC or SD County. Rules require
submission of a log AND an official summary sheet that may be downloaded
from the webpage and can be filled out and cut and pasted into an e-mail.
2. Stew Perry Top Band Distance Challenge. 15Z Sat to 15Z Sun.
Maximum of 14 hours. 160M CW only. Exchange: 4 character grid square
(such as EM72).
3. PODXS 070 Club QRP DX Scramble. 00-24Z Sun. 20M PSK31 only. 5W
maximum power. Exchange: Name and "DX entity."
4. RAEM CW Contest. 02-0959Z Sunday. 80-10M CW. Exchange: serial# +
latitude in degrees and longitude in degrees. N = N; S = S; W = W; O =
E. Last year there was good activity in this one on 80M, particularly
from Russia, of course. Often there is activity on higher bands, but
that depends on the MUF. RAEM was a call assigned to Ernst Krekel, a
Soviet radio operator who was a hero of an Arctic rescue. The
government permitted him to use the commercial callsign of his ship as
his ham radio callsign. I worked him a few times and have at least one
QSL from him. So, this annual contest is in his memory.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too. Hope everyone has a
good holiday with family and friends and many QSOs over the weekend. I
need some SD counties and hope for good activity in this new QSO party.
I hope the Alpha 91B will work OK on 160 and hope to make a lot of
contacts in the Stew Perry. The Alpha 78 won't work on 160 at the
moment. If I can't make many contacts in the Stew Perry, I'll try to
figure out my latitude and longitude and make some QSOs in the RAEM
contest.
I think that next week, in honor of Straight Key Night on New Year's
Eve, the NCCC will have a half hour CW Sprint Practice using hand keys
at the usual NS practice time on Thursday night. I hope (and believe)
that we will be home by that hour. I have a Vibroplex Deluxe key that I
will exercise then or at least at some time during SKN. I think the SKN
runs the entire 24 hours of New Year's Day UCT.
73, John, K4BAI.
