Poor excuse, the 10-10 phone contest has been on the calendar since last
year..
Maybe the Austin Summerfest needs to watch their dates in planning..

This weekend is the Summer 10-10 Phone Contest. Please go to
http://www.ten-ten.org/index.php/activity/2013-07-22-20-26-48/qso-party-schedule
for the current schedule and
http://www.ten-ten.org/index.php/activity/2013-07-22-20-26-48/qso-party-rules
for the rules.
Note that even if you do not have a 10-10 number, you are still worth
one point (2 points for a member). Also, our local chapter, Houston
S.H.O.T. would like for your points and to join the chapter, you’ll
need a 10-10 number and check into one of our special nets on both
Friday and Saturday night at 8pm on 28.488. This contest does allow
nets, spotting (even self spotting) and anything possible to promote
10 meter activity. Now, if you do not have a 10-10 number, you can
check into our net on Friday night, collect 10 numbers, do an on-line
application at
http://www.ten-ten.org/index.php/membership/menu-application/2-uncategorised/47-member-app
and by Saturday night, you likely will have your number. It’s been
done before!
There are various software packages that support the contest,
including N1MM+ and N3FJP.
Please contact me directly if you have any questions. I really would
like to see each and every one of you on the air. Band conditions are
not great, but the band does open from time to time.
