VK SHIRES 2020 COVID19 Changes
These are the changes for 2020.
VKCL will be updated to cater for the changes
(In Progress)
- NO ROVER CATEGORY
- NO MULTI OP
- 4 hour repeat
- Shorter version 8 Hour category
NB 8 Hour can be any 2 of the 4 hour blocks. Not overlapping. As there are 6X4 hour blocks it can be 1 and 2 or 1 and 6 or any other combination but not starting before a timeslot to maximise the repeat QSOs.
Modes SSB and CW Only - No Digital We have been interested in adding FT8 to the VK shires but there does not seem to be a conduit to get the answer to the simple question, is it possible to add CQ Zone and VK Shire to the Exchange? Sadly we will try it for 2021 but right now there will be no FT8 Final Rules will be released before the end of April so the guns can sort out strategies.
