[SJRA-Members] ARRL 10m Contest this weekend

[Bob Beyer]

The ARRL 10m Contest begins tonight at 7:00 pm EST (0000z) and runs until
6:59 pm Sunday (2359z).

 

.         This contest includes both CW and SSB activity and you can work
the same station on both modes.

.         The exchange is RS(T) + State.  By convention, RST is always 59
(5NN in CW).

.         If you work a sate on CW, you can work it again on SSB and get
multiplier credit for both.

 

The Geminids meteor shower will peak around Monday or Tuesday next week and
it is not uncommon to hear meteor scatter in this contest (mainly on CW) and
sometimes even work someone with it.  Meteor scatter bursts on 10m last
noticeably longer than 6m and 2m.

 

Logs are due in 7 days.
