Doug Gorman Frequency Measuring Contest

This contests runs again on Monday 6th September 2010 at 2100 NZST (0900 UTC).

The revised rules brings the contest up to the modern standard that radio amateurs can now reach with home brew equipment.

Gone is the measuring of three frequencies spread across the 80 m amateur band. For maximum points a total of five frequencies must be measured within +/-5 kHz of 3895 kHz.

There are now three grades of measuring, John McKim Cup (Simple equipment to 100 Hz readout resolution), Norm Edwards Shield (equipment better that 10 Hz readout resolution), or Ultra Category (equipment directly referenced to an atomic standard during the contest)

The Branch award is still available and certificates will be provided to all entries with an average deviation of 100 Hz or better.

The contest takes care of all measuring methods now available to the amateur.

How about giving it a go again this year, to celebrate the 58th year of running this contest!
