[SMCARA] 31 Flavors Contest Today

[Tom Shelton]

Hi All,

In case you're looking for something to do this afternoon, try the 2010 31 Flavors Contest, presented by the PODxs070 association.

General Rules:

Runs from Noon to 6:00 PM (local Time) 
Modes: BPSK31, BPSK63, BPSK125, QPSK31, QPSK63
Band: 20 meters only (Suggested 14,070 for 31 * 63, 14,072.5 - 14,080 for 125)

Exchange: State and Name (Non 070 members); State and member number (070 members)

Points: 1 point for station contacted per mode:  So if I contact Boz (you know its going to happen) on BPSK31, BPSK63, and QPSK31 - that would be 3 points.

Multipliers: 1 multiplier for each State/Province/DXCC entity in each mode.
 - First US Contact (in each mode) counts for 2 points (1 for state and 1 for DXCC entity) - same for first Canadian 
 - First KH6 / KL6 (in each mode) counts for 2 points (1 for state and 1 for DXCC)

This would be a good chance to pick up a bunch of PSK contacts in a very short period of time, and really exercise the digital side of your station.

Enjoy All... Hope to catch you on the air....
