[nrv-hams] 2020 - The Year We Make Contact - CONTEST!!!

[Cam Coble]

Yes! It's time to warm those transmitters and start churning the ether.

In support of our club goals to gain technical proficiency and to promote
communication diversity, we're having a contest!
If you have never participated in a QSO contest, now's your time to try!
For those seasoned contestants, well, this is a marathon, and your other
contest entries will count for this one too!

>From March 1 to the end of the year, we want to count every QSO (contact)
you have with another amateur radio operator, and give you bonuses for
using new bands and modes to stretch your skills! We'll tally each month
for a monthly paper award, and at the end of the year, we'll have a grand
prize (as yet to be determined, but it WILL be cool!).
Send your logs to me via email, snail mail, or hand-off after each month,
and we'll start calculating those numbers. I'm not good with big numbers,
so make me get out that calculator!

Go get more details and log sheets here:

I know... it's a lot of reading, but *I* had to write it!
Please read it before you ask questions, but if you aren't clear on
something, ASK!
There are no excuses not to participate!
If you have problems with your equipment, email me and we'll get you some
help.
I want this to be FUN, so get out there and get our repeaters warmed up
too! They're cold up on those mountains all by themselves.

73, and hope to see me in your log!
