[W2CRA] Fwd: FM Simplex Sprint Contest

[Tony Ploski]

Not sure who gets these announcements.  Looks like a good activity.

I had to remove the attachments to get it through the CRA reflector, so 
see the NPARC website for details.

The 3rd Annual FM Sprint Contest, supported by the New Providence ARC
(NPARC), will be held on Sunday April 22nd. This contest is for
everybody who has VHF/UHF FM capability (this should be all hams in
NNJ). It's not just for Kids and New Hams, but there will be a
separate Category for young people.

The Flyer and the Operating Rules are attached below to this e-mail.
Please "spread it around" so everyone gets a chance to get involved.

There are two small changes to the rules for this year:

1. The times are a little different from previously.

2. The exchange will be your callsign and your zipcode. This should
provide us with higher multipliers than when we used grid squares.
When operating from home we all know our zipcode, but Rovers will have
to determine their location for every contact.

One important thing is not changed. Everyone who enters and submits a
log, will get a certificate.

There is more info on the NPARC Website at:  www.nparc.org
