Christmas Contest Time!
Stuart M0NYP won the 2m FM Trophy in 2012
It is that time of year again, when the airwaves around Wythall (and further afield too!) will be full of strange stations exchanging numbers!
No, it’s not a spy extravaganza, it’s just the Wythall Radio Club Christmas Contest again!
Members have to work each other as often as possible between Christmas Eve at 20:00 and New Year’s Day at 20:00. We can work each other once every day for points and each unique member contacted acts as a “multiplier” to our scores.
Chris G0EYO won the G7OJO Trophy last year
At the end of the event, we take the best 5 days scores and submit them to the adjudicators who then come up with the results, which are celebrated with a presentation evening each January.
It is all about “having fun with RF” as our club motto states, and it invariably lives up to its name. So if you hear strange goings-on on the airwaves (especially on 145.225 MHz FM) over Christmas, don’t be alarmed – in fact, please join in and say “hello”.
You are not valuable to members as points, but you will make a few new friends!
