Hi John,
Trippy, ac8s, formerly, wd8oep here!
First of all, I want to say, a huge thank you, for getting into the
cq100 SS, back in 2009! I'll never forget that!
Secondly, getting back to the hf side of things, I'm sponsering the
first anual antenna party on the air, contest!
It's gonna be in September, and everyone I've talked with about this is
excited!
Who doesn't like hearing different antennas, and showing off their antennas?
Anyway pal, if you like the idea of this contest, can you let other hams
know about it?
Looks like it's gonna be huge, hundreds, probably thousands of hams on
the air, letting folks hear their antennas!
Hope to work ya in September!

The first annual antenna party on the air.
Sponsored by Trippy Brown, ac8s.
starts 2300Z, September 21
ends 0400Z, September 23
bands: 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, 6, and 2 meters
modes: am, cw, fm, ssb.
purpose: to get as many hams on the air as possible that weekend, and
help hams know about different antennas, and hear how they get out, so
they can put up one just like it. I want us hams demonstrating our
antennas, so other hams, can put up better antennas if they hear one
they like.
Whether you want to make just a few contacts, or, if you want to make a
lot of contacts, don?t sit this one out! Get on the air and have fun
learning about and hearing, new antennas, and, let others learn about,
and hear your antenna!
exchange: signal report, US state, Canadian province, or dx country,
antenna being used, where it?s located, for example, on a balcony, in an
attic, how high up it is, and, how much power you?re running.
An example exchange would be
?you?re 59 Alaska, running a long wire, in a backyard, up 10 feet,
running 200 watts.?
work once per band, once per mode.
Class, single station, single op, I want as many stations on as possible.
power: must run 200 watts or less.
Must run only from a fixed location, such as, your place of residence.
Logging: no logs need to be sent to me. Just take down any info about
the other stations antenna that you need to know, such as what is given
by the station.
The station can give as much info on the antenna as needed, such as, how
to build it, or, tell the station you?re working, that they can find
directions on how to build and put up the antenna at a certain web site,
or, to send you an email with a request on info about the antenna.
