[IRCA] 2008 Fall Follies Ultralight DX Contests to End Monday at Local Dawn + 30 Minutes

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just a reminder that all of the contests within the 
Ultralight Fall Follies will close at your own local sunrise + 30 
minutes on this coming Monday morning.  We have had well over 200 
people download the Participant's Packet from dxer.ca, so we expect 
quite a number of entries.  Please remember that ALL entries are due 
in my e-mail box by local dawn on Wednesday.  I'll then be passing 
along the entries to Kevin Schanilec and Allen Willie for checking, 
compilation, etc. We hope to announce the high scorers in each of the 
six contests by the end of the following weekend, at the latest.

You may submit your entries at any time from now, as a matter of 
fact. They need not be held to the end of the contest period, if they 
are your final entries.

When ever you turn in your entry, please do, first, check over the 
rules once again for compliance and do, PLEASE follow the entry 
format that is described in the Rules and is listed for your 
convenience directly below.

Thanks... and we hope that everyone has had fun with this 
event.  You'll each receive certificates, suitable for framing, 
within a few days of your entry.

(Fred didn't hear any stations from outside the Americas from his QTH 
in Dry Gulch, AZ, so he had no submission in the World-wide category. 
Had there been an entry, the same format would be used as shown above 
for his North American DX submission.)

Contest will be asked for an abbreviated station log for publication. 
That log should contain frequency, call letters, location and time 
heard for each station logged. No program details are necessary.
