[IRCA] FOLLIES START FRIDAY at LOCAL SUNSET



Just a reminder that the 2008 Ultralight Fall Follies DX Contests start this Friday at 30 minutes prior to Local Sunset this coming Friday and run until 30 minutes past Local Sunrise on the Monday 10 days later (October 24 thru Nov. 3). There are three separate contests that DXers in the US and Canada may enter; two of those contests may be entered by DXers from around the world. Within each of the three contests, DXers may compete with either a modified (Unlimited Class) or a stock (Barefoot Class) Ultralight radio. So, there are really 6 contests for your consideration.

Two of the contests (the most stations heard within an aggregate eight hours of DXing, Barefoot or Unlimited Classes, require a fair amount of time (at least 8 hours at he dials.) The other four contests are the summation of distance to your five most distant stations, within North America(check the rules) and world-wide. These latter contests, again may be entered in either the Unlimited or the Barefoot Class of receiver. The time devoted to the "five most distant stations" contests is unlimited, within the span of the overall ten days. You may DX as much or as little as you wish.

There is a complete Participant's Package in the first page of files in the Ultralight Files area of dxer.ca. It contains both the rules and a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions section.

There are no prizes, but results will be announced and a new "suitable for framing" certificate has been designed for all participants.

Be there or Be Square!
