NEW RULES THIS YEAR! Sponsored by the Super 7s Meteor Scatter Club.

This 5-day long contest is timed to coincide with the Geminids meteor 
shower. It has been a lot of fun in the past, and this year promises to 
be no different! Plan to get WSJT fired up and get on 6m or 2m starting 
at 0000 UTC (Friday evening in North America). You can also try meteor 
scatter QSOs on 222 and 432 MHz for extra-big multipliers!

“Assisted” contacts (i.e., scheduled in real time using Ping Jockey) are 
“legal” and encouraged. PJ use will be heavy, so keep your posts short 
and to a minimum. The usual PJ rules apply: NO communication on PJ about 
the QSO while it is in progress, or else it’s a busted QSO and has to be 
started over. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO COMMENTS FROM THIRD PARTIES. Don’t 
comment on or paste captures of other people’s QSOs!

Random contacts are also legal and in many cases will actually take less 
time to complete than going to PJ, especially when PJ use is very heavy. 
Listen for a minute after completing a contact for tail-enders!

See you in the contest!
