Re: [IRCA] Question on Fall Follies ULR Contest

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks John;

Correctomundo, I'm not a member of the ultralights group, so I missed
seeing Kirk's similar question and response.  Thanks again and good luck
in the contest (and thanks for helping to run it).

73,

Dave in Indy

Dave,

My guess is that you are not a member of the ultralightdx group and,
possibly that you did not reread the Official Rules for the Fall
Follies.  The Rules on time are very clear. I try to copy the irca list
on important ultralight business, but I failed to do so when I responded
to Kirk Allen's question about 8 hours aggregate vs. 4 hours aggregate.
Here is a copy of my message from ultralightdx.

Sorry for the confusion:



	Hi Guys,
	I'm a bit confused on the rule for the most stations heard. In
the 
	pdf file I saved from dxer.ca, the rules say a total listening
time 
	of 4 hours, but this posting states 8 hours. Maybe I missed 
	something, but could one of you guys help clarify this for me? 
	Thanks. I hope everyone enjoys the competition.

Oh, DANG IT ALL!!!  The official rules govern, of course. Its four
hours, to be broken in a maximum of 8 segments, each a minimum of 30
minutes and my failing brain just mushed all of that together, DANG IT!

*****4 hours*****

Thanks to Eagle Eye Kirk Allen for spotting my error. Sorry for the
confusion.

John Bryant!

	John and all;
	
	I had asked this question on dxer.ca ULR forum but no replies,
save for
	Colin's.
	
	I *thought* that I understood the Fall Follies contest but
something
	that I read the other day has clouded my vision of it.
	
	I was under the impression that for the total stations heard
contests,
	you could listen for up to four hours, with up to 8 periods.
After
	reading a note from John Bryant (on the IRCA reflector), I see 8
hours
	mentioned. I must have missed something. Can someone clarify?
	
	
	***from John Bryant: 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.)
	 
	***********************************
	
	***From the contest rules on dxer.ca: but the total listening
time shall
	not exceed 4 hours and no session shall be less than 30 minutes
of
	continuous DXing.
	
	
	Thanks for any clarifications. I appreciate the efforts!
	
	73 and Good Luck!

	PS: I have not started contesting yet - not due to the question
above
	but due to time constraints.  I predict that the band will die,
when I
	start. dh
