Spartan Sprint Contest Monday -

** See Special Note Below

The December Spartan Sprint will be held on December November 6, 2004 (which
is 
our
standard date--the first Monday of the month).  It's two hours of fun as you
contact other QRP CW stations on 80, 40, 20, 15, and/or 10 meters.

The contest starts at 9 pm EST, 8 pm CST, 7 pm MST, and 6 pm PST and runs
for
two hours.   That's 0200-0400 UTC.  The contest is Monday night, even though
the
UTC is Tuesday morning.

The Spartan Sprint exchange is RST - State - Power (e.g. 559 MI 5W).

Contest details and rules are at
www.arsqrp.com/ars/pages/spartan_sprints/ss_rules_new.html

We will continue our special recognition for those who operate outdoors.  If
you
operate outdoors, please note it in your Soapbox comments after the contest.

After the contest report your summary and score at the autolog at
www.ARSqrp.com/ars/ss_log.html

In your Soapbox comments after the contest, start by listing your radio and
antenna.  We think everyone would be interested in this information.

** Special Note:

We are asking that you note your state, province, or country as part of your

callsign when you fill out the autolog.  Several members would like to
compare 
scores with others in their area.

The easiest way to do this is to append that info to your callsign in the
"Your 
Call" box of the autolog.  For example, NA8M in Michigan would enter
'NA8M-MI' 
in the "Your Call" box.  VE3ELA in Ontario would enter 'VE3ELA-ON'.

If you are using the Spartan Sprint Logger, just enter the callsign with QTH
on 
the Sprint Web Submit screen as above.  It will be automatically entered on
the 
web site when you hit 'Submit'.
