August is SARL HF Contest month

It is now time to start gearing up for the two SARL HF contests. The HF SSB contest will take place on 2 August and the CW version on 30 August.

With more space on 40 metres and good conditions, this year's events may see record participation.

Get your antenna shipshape, put up that extra 40 and 80 dipole or inverted V antenna and join in the fun.

As an additional incentive, all logs received in each contest will enter into a lucky draw for a copy of the new ARRL book "Practical Antennas", currently a best seller in the USA.

Listen weekly to SARLNEWS for updates and hints on how to participate in the contests. The rules are available in the contest bluebook on www.sarl.org.za.
