The RAC Contests, which run
annually on July 1st (Canada Day) and in
December (mark your calendar for December 18, 2004, on December 17, 2005, and on December 30,
2006), have proven to be very
popular. One of the categories
which has enjoyed an increased participation over the last few years has been
the QRP category.
The members of the QRP-Canada mailing
list have sponsored the QRP plaques for this category for the last 5 years and
have just raised the funds for the next 5 years. The plaque goes to the Single Operator
who operates on all bands and combines SSB & CW for the highest
score.
A number of e-mails were posted on
QRP-Canada promoting a desire to recognize additional QRP categories.
All you have to do is operate in the
RAC Summer & Winter contests, as you normally would. When each contest is over, just submit a
Summary Sheet (example below) within 30 days of the contest ending to:
Bruce Rattray (VE5RC+VE5QRP)
128 Durham Drive
Regina, SK. S4S
4Z2
Canada
...or e-mail to rattray@accesscomm.ca
After the scores have been checked, an
announcement of the winners in each category will appear on the QRP-Canada
mailing list and also in the TCA magazine.
A Certificate will be sent to the winner of
each category.
