[HCDX] WINB 40th Anniversary Contest Update

[WINB Shortwave <winb40th@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear DXers and SWLers:
Now that WINB's first 40th anniversary contest is
over, let me provide you with a summary.

The station received reports from every continent
except Africa.  I was surprised by the fact that WINB
got so many reports given the time and frequency of
the contest.  It was particularly interesting to
compare levels of local QRN from around the world.  
As expected, some folks had poor reception and others
had great reception.  

Most of the recordings were on cassette, but WINB did
receive audio files as well as one CD! 

All reports will be confirmed by QSL card and station
pennant as promised.  Those will be sent out within a
few weeks time.  

I think folks will also be pleased with the new WINB
QSL card. (Some sent in photocopies of old WINB cards
from as far back as the 1960's.)

WINB would like to thank everyone who participated. A
special thanks goes out to those who sent return
postage, post cards, shack photographs, stickers, etc.
 

The next contest will be in April.     

73's

Hans Johnson
Frequency Manager, WINB
