Hi All,
Following a request sent by Leo, #1438, we are considering reactivation of the SOC Sprints.
Cf. https://www.qsl.net/soc/contests.htm
At SOC HQ, we have already done some brainstorming but we now need your help. Do not worry, this will be quick and
painless o:)
Here is the main idea: one or two yearly Marathon Sprints will take place, depending on interest shown by this poll. The
past editions were scheduled on the 2nd Saturday of March and the 2nd Saturday of September, from 1800Z till 2359Z.
Please note that when the sprints were suspended years ago, there was definitely NOT enough interest to support two per
year.
The main goal will be to make "as much" CW QSOs as possible, in every (legal) way it pleases you: quick shots, 30
minutes chats or whatever. Some bonuses may be gained for using special dresses or SOC capabilities (e.g. QLF).
And now comes our call for your help:
- if such a SOC Sprint is brought back to life, would you enter it?
- would you prefer one Sprint (if so, please indicate your preferred Saturday) or two Sprints as originally planned?
- even if you do not intend to be on air for this Sprint, would you eventually be ready to manage it? That means
collecting logs, checking them, writing up some global report which will be posted on our site and, last but not least,
taking care of the (e-)certificates to be sent?
As you may see on our website, the activity during the past SOC Sprints was rather low. But you know the golden rule:
"Past performance is not an indication of any future performance."
Feel free to flood us with your answers ; the more they are, the funniest it will be.
