[RRDXA] Winner of Nevada Rodrigues Trophy (Club)

[maik.reckeweg at nokia.com]

Hallo !
 
Die RRDXA hat die Nevada Rodriguez Trophy der 3B9C Expedition gewonnen.
 
Gibt es zufällig jemanden aus unseren Reihen, der zur UK HF Convention nach Gatwick fährt , um die Trophy entgegenzunehmen ?
 
Ist wohl eher unwahrscheinlich.... Sollte sich bis Anfang nächster Woche niemand melden, were ich G3NHL bitten, die Trophy per Post zu schicken.

Hi, Maik,
 
Thank you for your reply.  I am very pleased to hear from you.
 
You ask what is the competition about:  I am pleased to explain:
As part of the 3b9c DXpedition, a series of Trophies and Certificates were offerred, with different Sections, for individuals, low power, high power, clubs, etc.   Please see the full details which are are on the website:
http://www.fsdxa.com/3b9c/trophy-application.html
 
There is also a full list of Winners on the main website.  You may be interested to see that the 3b9c Operators included Jens DL7AKC, and Falk, DK7YY.
 
Entries were invited from individuals, who were asked to state the name of  their Club.  I then totalled the number of contacts made by members of each club, who entered for the Trophy, and who stated their club name.
 
On this basis, the RRDXA won First Place in Section 8, European (excluding UK) Local Clubs.     Congratulations!
 
The award for First Place is a Trophy, as shown in the picture on the website, in the form of a very fine model "pirogue", the craft used for fishing in Rodrigues waters.  There will be a plaque engraved with the details:
 
                                                                      NEVADA RODRIGUES TROPHY
                                                       EUROPEAN (excluding UK) LOCAL CLUBS - FIRST PLACE
                                                                                   AWARDED TO
                                                             RHEIN RUHR DX ASSOCIATION - OCTOBER 2004
 
I hope this answers your question!
 
The trophies are being prepared right now.    I hope we have the name of your Club right!
The Trophies will be presented at the UK HF Convention on 23rd October at Gatwick, England, to Individuals and Club representatives who will be attending.  If no one is attending from your Club, we will be pleased to post the Trophy to you.
 
So will you please tell me if there is anyone from RRDXA who will be attending the HF Convention, or perhaps any German Amateur who is attending who you approve to  receive the award at the Presentation Ceremony??? 
 
I hope this answers your questions.   Please note I shall be away Thursday - Saturday this week, otherwise I will be pleased to hear from you.
 
May I say that all the 3b9c team send you and all the members of the RRDXA our Congratulations.   We thank you all for your interest and support for the 3b9c operation.
 
73,
