Get ready for one of the most laid back and fun events of the Canadian Radiosports Season… The RAC Canada Day Contest.
The contest starts at 0000hrs UTC on July 1st and runs straight through till 2359.59 on July 1st
The rules of the Contest can be found here… as well as a link to some really easy logging software designed for the contest that makes scoring a breeze…
The RAC Canada Day Contest and the RAC Canada Winter Contest are the two most operator friendly contest I think you will ever find… Highly recommended for fun and also if you are looking to fill in any gaps in your Worked all Canadian Provinces slot in your log…
This year the contest should be especially exciting as we havebeen experiencing excellent conditions on 20m and the VY0RAC station this year is a powerhouse. Check out his QRZ.com webpage using the link.
This year I will be participating from home… Starting in the shack using the FT450 and the S9 Vertical along with the 6m homebrewed Delta Loop. If the weather is nice later on in the contest I’ll move the rig and power supply out to the patio and enjoy the nice WX along with the advantage of shorter feed lines to finish things off…
Hope to hear you and work you in the contest
