The F-Call Challenge.
Hi I am Rob, VK4HAT
There has been a lot of debate about F-call privileges on social media since the ACMA accounted in its LCD proposal that it might consider giving all license classes 400w. My motto in ham radio for a long time has be JUST DO IT, so rather than debate the pros and cons of all the arguments, I have decided to throw open a challenge to everyone to operate under F-call privileges for the Oceania DX Contest.
What better way to know what can be achieved with an F-call than to run at 10w on 80, 40, 15 and 10m for the duration of the contest and see how good you can do. You wont win anything other than personal satisfaction and some bragging rights that you did better than your friends. But thats OK right?
If you are interested, shoot me an email, you can find it on QRZ.com. The participate in the contest, submit your log and send me your score and I will report back how well everyone did. May the best 10 watts win. See you on the bands.
