2000 Spring VHF/UHF Sprints

ARRL Contest Branch

International Contest
Sponsored by
East Tennessee DX Association / NJ4I

The 222 MHz Sprint will be from 7 PM until 11 PM local time on Tuesday (April 18, 2000)

Email Submission of Logs to vhfdx@etdxa.org

Deadline for submission of entries for the 144 Mhz Sprint is 0500 GMT Wednesday May, 17, 2000. Those who are submitting paper logs, kindly allow for delivery time.

Note Participation Prizes!

ETDXA would like to remind everyone that the 222 Mhz Spring Sprint is only a few days away. Everyone is encouraged to participate, even if only in a small way. We have several sponsors this year, who have donated nice prizes to be drawn from a list of participants who have submitted contest logs this year. Steve N2CEI & Sandra of Down East Microwave have donated 2 gift certificates and the recipients will be drawn from the list of those who have submitted entries for 222 & 903. Tom Whitted, WA8WZG has donated a Bird 2500 watt slug for 50 Mhz and 144 Mhz entries. ETDXA has also added a nice engraved plaque to the list of awards. The plaque will go to the individual who submits the highest overall score, across all bands, and for the individual bands, a certificate will go to the three highest scores per band.

The rules have intentionally remained simple, and yes, they do encourage rover operation. The contest is intended for single operator, single transmitter entries, however if one wishes to introduce a newcomer to weak signal vhf/uhf operations, the sponsors of the contest reserve the right to allow such entries, if identified as such.

You will see that we have created a new email address for submission of logs, which will be on-line in time for the first contest. This is vhfdx@etdxa.org

If there are any clubs, newsletters, or periodicals which need to be added to distribution, please let me know.

I wish you the very best of VHF ! 73,
Bert Rollen, K4AR
