[TVARC] ARRL's International Grid Chase (IGC) - K4QR's "Brag" & Notes

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC's MailList,

So far, nobody's commented/bragged about their results from the ARRL's
International Grid Chase (IGC) special event that ended a year's long
competition on December 31, 2018.  Since nature abhors a vacuum, my (K4QR)
"brag" from this even is provided below.

ARRL's International Grid Chase (IGC) ended on 12/31/2018 @ 23:59. This
Special Event was a year-long activity to encourage stations to work as
many grid squares as possible.  For this event, all the logging was
automatically done by ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW;
http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world). So, you may have "participated"
without realizing that your were! 8Thus, you should log onto the ICG's
website (https://igc.arrl.org/index.php) using your LoTW credentials to see
your results!
