VK Shires 2018 Australia Day Contest
Tossing around the idea to run a second VK Shires Contest in Summer aligned with Australia Day with AX Prefixes and all -
All bands from 160 to 70cm - Noting that 10MHz 18Mhz and 24Mhz cannot be used
Allowing repeat contacts every three hours....Owing to time differences in East to West would most likely be a 20 hour contest or perhaps a 24 hour local time contest...
The USA Field Days are very popular and promote the hobby - they are in summer - so the concept can work
Thoughts?
