That’s right, I’m streaming a ham radio contest for 24 HOURS! How many contacts will I make? Will I stay awake? Tune in to find out!
*Please note I cannot show my operating frequency as that is self spotting and against the spirit of the contest*
My goal is to beat my personal best
VK7HH Personal Best: 732 points (2020)
About the Remembrance Day Contest: https://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/rdcontest/
This contest commemorates the Amateurs who died during World War II and is designed to encourage friendly participation and help improve the operating skills of participants. It is held on the weekend closest to the 15th August, the date on which hostilities ceased in the southwest Pacific area.
A perpetual trophy is awarded annually to the Australian state or territory with the best performance. The name of the winning State or Territory is inscribed on the trophy, and that State or Territory then holds the trophy for 12 months. The winning State or Territory is also given a certificate, as are leading entrants.
