[TVARC] Upcoming Contests

[Pete K2PS]

Somehow during our last meeting I missed talking about a couple of contests
coming up:

 

This weekend is the CQWW WPX SSB contest.  It's everyone working everyone,
and starts at 8p Friday night.  The exchange is simply, 59 and a serial
number, starting at 001.  This one always has lots of activity, and if you
have a unique or recently licensed prefix, you may be sought after.  From
the contest rules: A PREFIX is the letter/numeral combination which forms
the first part of the amateur call. Examples: N8, W8, WD8, HG1, HG19, KC2,
OE2, OE25, LY1000, etc.

 

The other contest of note is the Florida State POTA contest.  This is a four
day POTA test, running each day from 8a to 8p, between Friday and Monday,
April 17 -20.  POTA activity is limited to Florida parks only, and supports
Activators and Hunters.  Activators give a signal report, with or without a
park number (59 US-1857), and Hunters give a signal report and state.  If
you're on FT8/4, use standard signal + grid.  Work 'em once per band per
mode per park (that's a lot of pers)!  Here are the rules:

Hope to see our TVARC Activators (KM4ZTE, N0SMX, K2DM, NN8I, and others) out
there.
