CADXA
Continues K7UGA
Armed Forces Day Operation
The recent Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day K7UGA special event operations
have provided a total of 2,852 QSOs in honor of Senator Goldwater's
legacy of service to Amateur Radio. QSLing continues through K7BHM
only, per
QRZ.COM address.
Thanks to all for your QSOs in support of this operation.
2009 CADXA DX Competition
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the 2008 CADXA Band-Entities Competition. Click here to see the list of winners!
Note that you must have Microsoft Excel to view the results
file.
In 2009, CADXA offers another Band-Entities Competition but
one with significant change from last year's event.
-
Six Meters is added for 2009
Work the highest band-countries (ok band-entities for you purists) between January 1,
2009 and December 31, 2009 and you will win a nice plaque and be the envy of all!
Three plaques will be awarded:
QRP (5w or less output)
Low Power (between 5 and 100w)
High Power (over 100w up to 1500w)
Certificates
For you “band specialists”, certificates will be awarded to the highest scorer on each band in each
power class above. To spread around the wealth, the plaque winners will not be eligible for a band certificate. That allows everyone to get in on this event and compete.
All HF bands + 6 Meters are in play in this one. 1.8 thru 54
MHz.
Contest QSOs ARE encouraged as this gets the club some needed contest points as well! We are all about points, ya know. ;-)
Entries are due to bobk8ia@aol.com by January 15,
2010. I prefer an ADIF file for the 2009 calendar year, but will accept most any form, spreadsheet, document that is organized.
Honor system prevails folks. We’re just competing for paper and wood, not gold.
73, Bob
K8IA
CADXA Contest Coordinator
