2010 Sprint Rules Update

August 9, 2010

   Bruce Randall, WD4JQV, SVHFS Fall Sprints Chairman, has released updated rules for the 2010 VHF Fall Sprint Contest. Down East Microwave (www.downeastmicrowave.com) is again supporting the Fall Sprints by sponsoring two participation award drawings. The drawings will be made at the SVHFS Conference from the stations that turn in logs showing contacts in the 222 MHz Sprint and/or the Microwave Sprint. One drawing for each. The two drawing winners will receive $100 gift certificates for DEMI products. You do not have to be present to win. The awards are being sponsored to encourage amateurs to get active on 222 MHz and the Microwave bands. Our thanks to Steve and Sandra for their continued support! For more information about the Sprints and for a copy of the 2010 rules, visit the Sprints page here.
