>> Hi everyone
>>
>> Another reminder that the 2009 Oceania DX SSB contest is happening
>> next weekend, and the CW contest on the following weekend. This is a
>> great opportunity to give your station a test drive for the new
>> contest season and 'warm up' for the big CQ WW events later in the
>> year.
>>
>> The aim of this contest is to promote HF contacts with stations in 
>> the
>> Oceania region. We are expecting a good turn out from VK, ZL and YB
>> stations, as well as stations from some of the rarer South Pacific
>> countries. Note that Oceania stations can work other Oceania and
>> non-Oceania stations. Non-Oceania stations can only work Oceania
>> stations.
>>
>> We are pleased to announce two new plaques for the 2009 contest. 
>> Tony
>> Hambling VK3VTH is sponsoring a plaque for the top entrant from
>> AUSTRALIA in the PHONE Single Operator All Band category, and  Wes
>> Printz W3SE/ZL3TE is sponsoring a plaque for the highest scoring
>> entrant from ASIA in the CW Single Operator All Band category. We 
>> are
