- Date and Time Change for the 902 MHz, 1296 MHz
- and 2304 MHz Spring Sprints
-
-
- Activity in the Spring Sprints has been slumping over the last
- few years, especially on the microwave bands. In the hopes of
- boosting activity in the 902 MHz, 1296 MHz, and 2304 MHz Spring
- Sprints, we have rescheduled the times and dates. The three
- Sprints (902 MHz, 1296 MHz and 2304 MHz) are scheduled to run
- simultaneously on a single Saturday (May 1, 1993). You may work
- any five consecutive hours from 6 AM until 1 PM local time. The
- individual Sprints will remain separate for scoring, but will
- take place at the same time. The other Spring Sprints (50 MHz,
- 144 MHz, 222 MHz, and 432 MHz) will remain on their respective
- activity nights.
-
- This change will give members the opportunity to make more
- contacts during the Sprints and at the same time promote
- activity. It will not discriminate against an entrant who has
- equipment for only one of the bands. He can still compete on an
- equal basis with his peers. For the members who wish to enter all
- three Sprints, it will give them the opportunity to pass contacts
- from one band to another. Having three Sprints at once, rather
- than just one, will be more of an incentive for people to go
- mountaintopping or go to rare grid squares. This should make the
- Sprints more fun, and give people more to do on the microwave
- bands during the contest.
