no worries -- i regularly read the reflector, too :)

That's 4 "72" certs so far! And one "120" (nearing all 168!!) ... And
several others getting close to "72"

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Check off all those "Thursday" hour slots in
between turkey :)

Subject: [070] "24x7" New Operating Award Challenge!!





In celebration of my 3 yrs w/070 (since Nov 2009) and the really fun
project of the endorsement checker (which has been used by hundreds of

you

guys!!!), I'd like to announce a new operating award challenge:

===== The 24x7 PSK Award ======

This is an EXCLUSIVE award to the 070 Endorsement Checker (
http://dwestbrook.net/projects/ham/070-checker/ ), and is not an

official

club endorsement.

The Challenge ..... There are 168 hours (7*24) in the week ... have a PSK
qso in as many different blocks as you can! e.g. Monday 01:xx, Saturday
13:xx, etc.
* Three levels: 72, 120, 168
* PSK31 QSO's on/after 2012-11-01; No expiration
* The ADIF fields of QSO_DATE and TIME_ON (qso start) are used to
determine the day of the week and the hour.
* No restriction on band or stations worked (can work same station
multiple times).
* Use of the online 070 Endorsement Checker is *required*.

----> I have created a custom electronic (PDF; 11x8.5) certificate which
I'll email upon request for each level: 72, 120, 168
Each certificate is customized to the recipient, including a summary of
their whole process -- I wrong a script to extract it all from the
endorsement checker db and write out the pdf :)

To apply, simply email David KJ4IZW (dwestbrook@...

<mailto:dwestbrook%40gmail.com> ) a request for
an electronic certificate to be generated -- just need callsign, no long
info or anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think this could be a good, fun challenge, and possible encourage
operating in "odd" times that someone otherwise wouldn't ... and part of
the reason I released it now is to have it out before the holidays, when
there's probably more "random" hours being worked as people get in extra
airtime ... Definitely a longer term award, but I ran reports against the
endorsement checker database, and multiple people have done all 168 in

the

last 3 years, and a bunch over the 120 level.

Hank W4RIG -- since you're done with the WTW clean sweep, the pressure's

on

you to be the first! :)

73 & GL!!
