PEARS annual VHF Digital and Microwave Contest

The Port Elizabeth Amateur Radio Society (PEARS) will be staging its annual VHF Digital and Microwave Contest on the weekend of 1 - 3 July 2005.

This contest is open to all amateurs in South Africa as well as the six neighbouring countries: A2, C9, V5, Z2, 3DA and 7P. The rules for this contest can be found on the SARL website at www.sarl.org.za.

The contest is divided into two 24 hour sessions, the first running from 18:00 CAT on Friday 1 July until 18:00 CAT Saturday 2 July, and the second leg from 18:01 CAT Saturday 2 July until 18:00 CAT Sunday 3 July.

Stations may operate as fixed, field or rover class including single, multi-operator or club stations as desired; thus 9 categories. The scores of each band will be multiplied by the number of grid squares worked on that band.

Come and join in the fun on VHF Digital!
