Braintree Club - 30th Anniversary Contest

This year is the thirtieth anniversary of the Braintree and District Amateur Radio Society, so to mark this occasion we will be running a contest from May to the end of July.

The aim of the contest is to collect 30 points. Points are awarded for working our special event station (GB0BTA 15 points per contact), the club callsigns (G3XG & G6BRH 10 points per contact), plus any of the club members (5 points per contact). GB0BTA will be active during the weekend of 21/22 May.

Points for each callsign can be claimed for only one contact per band per day. Also a minimum of two different callsigns need to be worked. QSO's via repeaters will not count towards the contest.

The club callsigns will be active on our club nets (2nd and 4th Mondays of each month), also the meetings in July (1st & 3rd Mondays) will be operating evenings active on 40N, 80m and 2m.

A list of club members callsigns will be available on our web site http://www.badars.org.uk/ or by sending an SAE to the event organiser
G0DEC QTHR.

For those who obtain 30 or more points, a certificate will be awarded. To obtain the certificate, send a cheque for 3 pounds to the event organiser (G0DEC) made payable to "Braintree & District amateur Radio Society" to cover postage and a donation to the Essex Air Ambulance.
