[PaQSO] IARU/WRTC2002

Fri, 31 May 2002 09:41:08 -0400

For any who work this years IARU and have not seen this message on
CQ-Contest, please see below.

This is a fun, relatively short, (24 hours) contest.

With the WRTC taking place within the IARU, it adds an interesting element
to that contest.

It really helps the WRTC comittee to get as many logs as possible. Note
that they are asking for the logs right after the contest. If you do work
the contest, just send the Cabrillo file from your logging program to the
address listed below.

NOTE that this wound not be your "official" log submission for the IARU
contest. You would do that by sending your log to the ARRL. Sending your
log as requested below is only to help the WRTC comittee determine the
winners of the WRTC2002, not the IARU.

If I've confused you or you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me
directly.

Subject: [wrtc2002-comp 0110] Help needed ... Raw IARU contest logs to us

Dear WRTC2002 participant,

I am Risto Lund, OH3UU and my sphere of responsibilities covers log
checking for the WRTC2002 contest.

It lies in everyone's interest that we should perform this job as well as
possible. To ensure the most truthful results, we need your help. Please
get in touch with as many stations as possible among your circle of
friends and ask them to send their raw IARU contest logs to us,
immediately after the contest - not just the next day but within hours
after the contest. Even partial logs during the contest would be
appreciated.

We are not interested in how they did in the contest - we need those logs
just to verify contacts with WRTC team stations and to see what kind of
stations were taking part in the contest. From the QSOs, we will only use
time, call, band and mode. We are not interested in multipliers, dupes or
points. Every Little Pistol is valuable, but in general we are looking for
logs with a high number of QSOs, such as multi-op logs. All logs received
will naturally take part in the raffle for special WRTC prizes.

Logs should be sent to:  [email protected]

Please rest assured that these logs are not going to be forwarded to
outsiders for any purpose; they will be used strictly as part of the
WRTC2002 team log checking procedures.

Risto Lund, OH3UU
