The Harry Angel Sprint is an annual 80m contest event, first established in 1999, to commemorate the life of Harry Angel VK4HA who at the time of his becoming a Silent Key was the oldest licensed amateur in Australia.
The duration of the contest is 106 minutes, one minute for each year of Harry's life. The 2017 HA Contest was run on May 6th this year.
The contest is run across four sections:- Phone, CW, Mixed and Short wave Listener.
This year there were 54 entries received across all sections including participants from all VK call areas except VK8 and also from ZL.
There were four entries from F-call stations.
Position holders in each category are awarded a commemorative certificate by the Redcliffe Group and points gained in the HA can be used towards an entry in the annual Peter Brown WIA Contest Champion Trophy competition.
Place winners in this year’s HA will be posted on the WIA website, under CONTESTS and also in the AR Magazine.
