Just a reminder that the 2008 Ultralight Fall Follies DX Contests
start this Friday at 30 minutes prior to Local Sunset this coming
Friday and run until 30 minutes past Local Sunrise on the Monday 10
days later (October 24 thru Nov. 3). There are three separate
contests that DXers in the US and Canada may enter; two of those
contests may be entered by DXers from around the world. Within each
of the three contests, DXers may compete with either a modified
(Unlimited Class) or a stock (Barefoot Class) Ultralight radio. So,
there are really 6 contests for your consideration.
Two of the contests (the most stations heard within an aggregate
eight hours of DXing, Barefoot or Unlimited Classes, require a fair
amount of time (at least 8 hours at he dials.) The other four
contests are the summation of distance to your five most distant
stations, within North America(check the rules) and world-wide. These
latter contests, again may be entered in either the Unlimited or the
Barefoot Class of receiver. The time devoted to the "five most
distant stations" contests is unlimited, within the span of the
overall ten days. You may DX as much or as little as you wish.
There is a complete Participant's Package in the first page of files
in the Ultralight Files area of dxer.ca. It contains both the rules
and a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions section.
There are no prizes, but results will be announced and a new
"suitable for framing" certificate has been designed for all participants.
Be there or Be Square!
