Saturday, November 13 - 0000 UTC

to

Monday, November 15 - 2359 UTC

Sprint Rules – This is a 3 day event. Work a 6 hour block each UTC Date. For Scoring, your 6 hour block will start with the hour you select on the Scoring page and continue for the next 6 hours. You may have only one “Block” or “Block Portion” on a given date.

Work each station once per band during the contest. (Same station, same band, different day is a dupe!)

Open to all licensed radio amateurs. Using 40M, 80M and 160M.

Call: “CQ 070 Sprint”

All entry logs must be received within 1 week after the event ends. Upload at Uploader Link shown in rules.

This event will again test your ingenuity and stealthy antenna talents. But with 3 bands to choose from, you can optimize your luck with propagation.

And it will again be worth pursuing, in order to grab that Top Band Endorsement Sticker with 20 QSOS on 160M. Only 44 of our 2,800 members have earned the Top Band Sticker.

And 160M QSOs count as 3 points each.

This is one of our most popular contests. Last year, 45 logs were submitted. Let’s see if we can beat that turnout. 

73,

Here's an idea on how to build participation of non members.  During your contacts in the coming week mention the sprint and that it's a chance to rack up some Q's on 160 and 80 meters.  Be sure to let non members know that you don't have to be a member to join the fun.

Keep in mind that this is a three day event with one six hour block so don't be too quick to tell the other station they are a Dupe, you don't know which six hour block they are going to submit.  It's easier and probably quicker to just send the exchange plus the checker will throw out any Dupes.  Have fun.
