PEARS National VHF/UHF Contest

The Port Elizabeth Amateur Radio Society's National VHF/UHF Contest will be run from 18:00 CAT on Friday 19 January to 18:00 CAT on Sunday 21 January 2007.

This contest is open to all amateurs in the RSA and the neighbouring countries.

This 48-hour contest has been divided into two equal sessions of 24 hours each. This means that the same station can be worked in both sessions and thus increase the activity.

Please note that all scores, on each respective band, will be multiplied by the number of grid squares worked on that band. All stations may challenge each other for the longest distance award on the bands authorized for their categories. Enjoy and good luck!

Activity is on 6, 4 and 2 metres, as well as 70 and 23 cm using phone, CW, and other Digital modes.

The rules are available on the Port Elizabeth ARS website at www.zs2pe.co.za and in the 2007 SARL Contest Manual.
