In addition to the usual gift certificates from ARRL and a few other odds and ends, we have received an unusual set of prizes which will of interest to a limited group of people:

"Attached are Silver (5), Gold (1) and Platinum (1) annual subscriptions to BeLoud.US that you can print and give out at your hamfest as door prizes.  The cumulative value of this package is $1,000.  I just need the names and callsigns of the winners please and if they will call me, I’ll activate their subscription.  The subscription is free to the winners, but they are responsible for paying for their minutes of usage."

Basically, these subscriptions give you operating access to various remotely-controlled HF amateur stations.  Silver is smaller 100W stations, Gold is bigger stateside stations with amps, Platinum the biggest stations including one in PJ4.  The prize gets you one year of access, BUT you still have to pay for operating time:  Silver $.05/minute, Gold $.29/min, Platinum $.49/min.  You can check the whole thing out at:

I don't think these are going to be transferable, so don't plan on being able to turn them around for a profit.  If you think you have an interest in winning one of these, let me know by replying now or tell me in the flea market tomorrow morning.  Also let me know which levels would interest you.  I would also be happy to hear of interest from any of you who are not able to attend Aurora '23, just reply here.

Thanks, see you Saturday!
