Walford Electronics Brendon 80m DSB kit<\/font><\/div>\n


Hi Bill<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I trust all is well and that the roadkill PCs are not fighting back.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thought you might like to hear about a new contest we are trying here in the UK – see below.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Having assisted lots of new knack victims to build their first rigs at the 3 Bath Buildathons we thought we should encourage them to get on the air – 30 QRP DSB rigs on 80m all at once – now that’s what I call a contest.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have opened it up to any QRP voice radio to cover the QRP appliance operators but homebrewers get extra points.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Not sure how much support we are going to get but there is a \u00a350 voucher for Walford Electronics kits up for grabs.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hopefully this will be a fun contest with freindly extended exhanges rather than the all too common ‘599 1002 73 QRZ’.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Picture is the Walford Electronics Brendon 80m DSB kit in all its glory, in case you want to post something on the blog.<\/font><\/div>\n
