This year we are going to try something
new, a digital (RTTY/PSK31) station, dedicated to
introducing keyboard orientated contesting. A good chance to try digital
contesting.
We will also have the SSB station, where the old heads can work the
pile-ups, but it will
be
avaiable for the new guys, just ask, the old guys will give you some tips
and turn you lose !
Everyone is invited to attend, and encouraged to operate the radios. If you
have interest in learning about
HF Amateur Radio, this is the event you should attend.
The stations will use computer logging programs, for dupe checking and scoring.
This has always been fun
and is a good introduction for those who may not have prior experience with
integrating computers into
the ham environment.
Emergency power will be provided by generators. We have permission to operate
the generators all night, and
we are investigating the possibility of alternative power to qualify for the
extra points for the contest.
Extra points are available for various things, among them is sending a message
to the Section Manager in Boise.
If the first link is via a radio link, we are allowed to send an email to
qualify for those points.
In addition to the operating activities, an evening meal is planned for Saturday
evening,
starting at 6:00 PM.
The menu will include:
Here's a list of who's in charge of what !! Want to help with a particular activity, please contact the team leader..
