The  Holmesburg Amateur Radio Club presents;
 
The  Delaware Valley FM Sprint Contest. 
Please  join us on February 28th from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM for an evening of

FM fun.   
The  object of the contest is to contact as many different zip codes as 
possible. The  rules can be found at _http://www.harcnet.org/contest.htm_ 
(http://www.harcnet.org/contest.htm)   This is a great way to check out
your  simplex 
coverage. It’s good information to have if your favorite repeater went 
off the 
air. While the contest is centered in the greater Philadelphia area, all  
stations are invited to participate and submit logs. 
This  contest is designed as an enjoyable event using radios that most 
amateurs have.  It is a low key contest, so do not feel rushed, there is
plenty of 
time for a  short chat. You can move a participant to another band, rovers
can 
arrange  meets, ask questions, meet someone new. 
To  keep things interesting and provide plenty of activity, there will be 
some  rovers running in the Philadelphia area during the full contest 
period. 
We  would like club stations to participate, as contacting a club station
is 
worth a  bonus. If we know before the contest that a club will be on the
air 
it would be  helpful, but advance notice is not required.  
As  with any contest, you don’t have to submit a log, but you never know,
you 
may  have won your class. Don’t let the number of contacts the rovers
make 
scare you  away, they are a different class.  
It  is really a pleasant way to spend a winter evening on the radio.  
Please  feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
