Brass Pounders ContestThe annual KCARC Brass-Pounders Contest begins on Feb 1st, at 0000 UTC, and ends at 0000 UTC on March 1st. Rule revisions, made at the Jan 5th, 1998 regular meeting, indicate that members count each other once on each band and those non-retired hams who wish to do so, may multiply their total contacts by 2, with all other calculation variables remaining as is. Due to revisions made by Industry Canada in the qualification for all band privileges, the 5 WPM contest category for 160, 80 and 10 meter participants has been eliminated. In it's place the KCARC is offering a trophy for SSB participants. Participants may enter and compete in both categories if they wish. To calculate your final score, multiply your total number of contacts by your total number of countries. Please note that contest participants may count each other once on each band. Completed and tallied logs must be submitted to the club secretary at the regular meeting in April. If further information regarding rules is required, please contact the club secretary.
