2008 SALMON RUN
Saturday, September 20th, 2008SALMON RUN CONTEST ON SEPTEMBER 20/21
from our EWA Section Manager Mark Tharp KB7HDX:
September is almost here, and with it comes the Washington State QSO party – AKA “The Salmon Run.” This is an event sponsored by the WWA DX Club and is one of the most fun times on the air you can have (especially the Saturday night “slugfest” on 75 meters). If you are a seasoned contest veteran, or have never dipped your feet into the pool, we have a place for you in this event. The short and dirty overview is to work all 39 Washington counties, and other States and DX countries. To catch a “full stringer,” you must work all 39 counties, and the rest count as multipliers. Many stations take this event on the road, and activate some of our states rare ones. The last two plus years we have had activity from all counties.
For more information go to: http://wwdxc.org We even take time off to sleep at night!! How can you beat a deal like that. There are a few new categories and rule changes this year. So if you have participated in the past, please review the rules. Join the fun, individually, or as a club. I hope to see you on the air.
.73..Mark.
