[Collins] Thanksgiving AM Challenge

Wed, 27 Nov 2002 21:43:23 -0500

The Thanksgiving AM Jamboree is scheduled for November 29 - December 1,
2002. The event begins Friday evening and ends late Sunday evening.
Participating stations should leisurely exchange Thanksgiving greetings,
signal reports, transmitter in use and AMI certificate numbers (if they have
one). AM contacts on any amateur band count. You can work the same station
on more than one band, but not more than once on the same band. We're going
to try scoring this time. Each contact is one point. Multiply your total
contacts by the number of bands used for AM contacts. Multiply again by the
number of different AM transmitters worked. Major transmitter variants
count, for example - Ranger I and Ranger II, but not both T368 and T368A.
Record the final and modulator tube types for homebrew transmitters. If you
work more than one homebrew transmitter with the same RF/Mod tube
configuration, only count it as one transmitter multiplier. Certificates
will be awarded to any station submitting a 1000 point log, for example - 4
bands, 25 contacts, 10 transmitter types. Use this weekend to fire up your
rare old boatanchors to provide multipliers, as well as points! Please
calculate your point total at the end of your log for faster processing at
AMI Headquarters. Send logs to AMI, Box 1500, Merrimack, NH 03054. Send
requests for lost AMI numbers to [email protected].
