THE HSC MARATHON
The Radio Telegraphy High Speed Club (HSC) invites all members and non-members as well to take part in a big annual challenge. This will give all amateurs a chance to meet HSC members on the bands - and, may be, even to join the fraternity of high speed telegraphy!
The HSC Marathon 1998 has started on January 1st, 1998, at 0000 UTC, and will end on December 31st, 1998, at 2400 UTC. It is open to HSC members and non-members. All CW fans are invited to work as many HSC members as possible. All bands are permitted, and of course, only 2-way CW contacts will count. Each QSO with an HSC member will count 1 point per band, provided he / she is a member at the time of QSO. The score is the sum of all points earned. The winner will be honoured with a price.
Please send your log to the Award Manager, DF5DD, before January 31st, 1999.
