2-meter simplex only, Sat. Feb. 27, 2010, 10AM to 11AM EST, Exchange is CHECK** and NAME (** see below) Logs, handwritten only, showing TIME - CALL - CHECK - NAME ***(see below), Top of log sheets to show your Call, Name and Check sent.
** The CHECK is 2 letters plus 2 digits, ie. FR27 , The letters are the first two of your middle name, and the digits are the last two of your house number, or P.O.Box number. The example above would be for FRank and address number 11127, or P.O.Box #527. If no middle name then pick a couple letters that would be unique, such as ZG or XR. If you have only a middle initial then double it, as Tom J. White, make it JJ. If no house number or box number then pick any 2 digits that you like, such as 99 or 55 or 21. Just so that the CHECK is the same for every QSO.
You may NOT log a QSO made on a repeater. You can ask someone on the repeater to move to one of the simplex frequencies to get a legal QSO.
Logs must be submitted at the March 4th general meeting. Winners award will be presented at the April 1st meeting.
