[SJDXA] ANNOUNCING the FALL 2022 SJDXA WORD CHALLENGE

[BobSchenck]

HIHI
No. I have not tried WORDLE yet. :-0
I was just trying to think about something challenging and at the same time NOT all that hard to accomplish. By using the Cambridge English dictionary, we should be able to avoid confusion. But I will probably come upon more questions as we move along. 

A simple excel should be easy to put together with the call in the first column and the WORD claimed in the second column.

>> THE SJDXA FALL 2022 WORD CHALLENGE
>> Dates:  November 1 through December 31, 2022
>> GOAL: To work as many calls that include a full word in the callsign suffix.
>> RULES:
>> Words must be from the “English Dictionary”. No foreign language words.
>> Words must be two letters or more in length.
>> Words must be entirely in the suffix of the call.
>> Words must not be “Proper Names/Nouns” unless there is a dual meaning (see examples).
>> You can use this online English reference https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english
>>  
>>  
>> Examples:            WA2PAM is not allowed because PAM is a proper name and has no definition as a word.
>>                                 WA2BOB is allowed because it has a dictionary definition as a verb (bob for apples)
>>                                 WA2XON cannot count for “ON”. XON is not a word. You must use the entire suffix.
>>                                 WA2BLE cannot count for ABLE since the only letters in the suffix are BLE (not a word)
>>                                 Further examples will be provided if necessary.
>>                
>> GOALS:
>> Certificates will be provided with endorsements for accomplishing “25 QSO” levels. (25,50,75,100 etc) with no ceiling.
>>  
>> Have fun!

>> 73!
