Views  expressed  in  this news bulletin are  not  necessarily
those of the Broadcast Officer, the Relay Officers, or of the
Society.

Well,  I hope you have tuned your rigs,  checked antennas  and
rotators and have had plenty of sleep, or intend to do so this
coming week. Because...

ANARTS  WW  RTTY  DX Contest takes place  next  weekend.  What
better  type  of contest could one have at this stage  of  the
solar cycle? RTTY will get through where other modes fail. The
signal  can be decoded when your ear cannot hear anything  but
noise,  and  this  contest is  geographically  equalised.  The
further  the distant station,  the more points one can obtain.
Everyone has a chance.

The  trophies are worth winning too.  A very nice  plaque  for
first place -- well-received last year by the winners and well
worth having on the shack brag-wall. Besides, think of all the
new  callsigns out there to be  contacted  and,  perhaps,  the
start of a long radio friendship. 

Be  in  it  and  make  this contest a  regular  one  for  your
calendar.


And  now for the rest of the rules...
