MKARS Easter QSO Challenge
Posted: 13 Apr 2022 02:09 AM PDT
https://www.mkars.org.uk/index.php/2022/04/13/mkars-easter-qso-challenge/
Our popular QSO challenge is back this weekend. The challenge will run over
the Easter weekend for everyone to work as many club members as possible on 70cm, 2m, 6m and 10m bands.
Contacts can be made using FM, SSB, FT8 or CW. QSOs must be made outside of
the club nets (but could be before or after the net period). For a contact
to be valid, both parties must submit an entry.
The challenge runs from 00:00 on Thursday 14th April until 23:59 on Monday
18th April.
This period includes the 6m SSB activity contest 8-10:30pm on Thursday
where you will find the MKARS contest team!
You can use any means to publicise your activity times or setup skeds such
as Facebook, WhatsApp, Club nets etc. eg G8IXK will be calling CQ on 28.4
USB Friday from 5pm.
All QSOs should be made in accordance with the RSGB band plans. You can
operate from home, mobile or portable.
Entries should ideally be made using the spreadsheet (attached to this
post) and was emailed to club members along with the April newsletter, but
a CSV file is acceptable too (your call, their call, date dd/mm/yy, band,
mode e.g. G8IXK, G6GEI, 15/04/22,2m, FM
The entry must be in the format shown. Contacts between members will only
score once on each band. Certificates will be awarded to the member with
the largest number of contacts for each license class.
All entries must be submitted by 23:59 on Sunday 24th April by email to
qso@mkars.org.uk.
Make sure that your QSO partners submit their entry too!
