THIS WEEKEND ON THE RADIO. ARRL Field Day, His Majesty King of
Spain SSB Contest, Ukrainian DX DIGI Contest, Marconi Memorial HF CW
Contest, ARCI Milliwatt Field Day and the SARL Digital PSK Contest
will certainly keep contesters busy this weekend. The RAC Canada
Day Contest is scheduled for July 1. Please see June QST, page 80
and the ARRL and WA7BNM contest web sites for details.
Radiosport fans are gearing up for the summer's biggest competition: The IARU HF World Championships. Calling the 24 hour long contest "an HF operator's delight," ARRL Contest Branch Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X, explained that the contest will allow amateurs plenty of opportunity to work DX from all around the globe on CW and SSB, as well as make QSOs with many IARU Member-Society club stations and officials.
It's an event that some groups take very seriously, planning all year long for. Still, others just use the date to get together, make a few contacts and enjoy each other's company. No matter how you view it, ARRL Field Day is fun!
The July 2009 issue of QST had a one page overview of some of the major pieces of equipment introduced at the Dayton Hamvention®. There is no way a single person can track down everything on display that's new in the time available, but QST Technical Editor Joel Hallas, W1ZR, did find quite a bit more -- much more than can be squeezed into the available QST page. "We reported on many other categories of interest, including new VHF and antenna-related equipment, as well as many categories of accessories," he said. "When you click on the link, you'll find a description of the rest of the new items I tracked down during a very busy three days at Dayton."
This feature -- including convenient Web links to useful information -- is a concise monthly update of some of the things ARRL is doing on behalf of its members. This installment covers the month of June.
MAURITIUS, 3B8. Luc, I3LDP will be QRV as 3B8/home call from June 29
to July 11. Activity will be on all HF bands, including 6 meters,
using CW and SSB. QSL to home call.
