Here's a good warm up exercise for the Sat AM meet in Memorial Park. You
might even recognise one of the Elvis stations.

Here are the rules and an entry from:
Hi folks!
Well, it's that time of year again! The only time of the year when the
undead feel free to control the night! Okay, I've been watching too many
Christopher Lee movies. It's almost time for the Zombie Shuffle! There'll
be the usual smathering of Elvis Stations and tons of fun. Below are the
rules and a Score sheet will follow. If you misplace this email then you
can print them out from the following site:

Official Rules for the Zombie Shuffle
Why: Because Zombies don't sprint.
When: Friday Nite, October 27, 2000
Any 4-hour period you choose from your local sundown to
local midnight. You can split it into two sessions if
interruptions are unavoidable. Just for the record, your
local sundown will be 6 p.m. and if your local weather
people disagree, I'll zap 'em with a spell!!!!
Special DX Rule: operate any 4-hour period as above,
or split it into two sessions if you need to, between
2200Z 10/27 to 0700Z 10/28. This includes HI and AK.
Special Note: if you're just having too much fun to quit
and want to hang out and pass out points, that's fine!
Just submit your best 4 hours.
Where: 20, 40, and 80 meters
Somewhere in the vicinity of the QRP gathering/calling
frequencies (14.060, 7.040, 7.110, 3.560, 3.710), be
considerate of others because they may not know about
Zombies, also spend some time in the Novice frequencies
too....all Zombies are brothers in spirit after all.
How: CW only
QRP only (5 watts or less power out)
What do I say: RST, SPC, Name, Zombie number
-RST is a signal report
-SPC means state, province, or DXCC country
-Name is what everybody calls you....watch it!
-Zombie Number is that series of numbers at the
bottom of your Zombie badge....or you can
use your local telephone area code if you
don't have a Zombie number; please use
only one number (if you have more than one
Zombie number you might want to use the
higher of the two since it's worth more
points ;> )
Notes: if you're a YL op, then add /YL after your callsign
if you're a Junior Zombie station (any op that's 18 yrs or
younger, and is a Novice/Tech+ or working with a
control operator present, such as an Elmer or someone
who is icensed to use the above frequencies) then add
/JR after the callsign used and remember to add your
age after the Zombie number used
Okay, one more note: last year everybody decided CQ BOO was fun to use
(and a lot shorter) for calling CQ
Fun Scoring: Your score is going to be the sum of all Zombie numbers
and telephone area codes worked on ALL bands! Stations
can only be worked once per band however. Then you're
going to add in all the special bonus points and stuff
to arrive at a really big score! Use the Official Zombie
Score Sheet... it's a whole lot easier than trying to
explain it all here.
Okay, now what: Send your completed score sheets (only) by December 1,
2000, to the Contest Coroner below via snail mail or
e-mail.
Who's the Contest Coroner: Well, that'd be lil ol' me...
