With over 400 QSO's now logged and confirmed, I have figured out how to effectively load lightbulb on an antenna. A good amount of interest is starting to occur on the lightbulb QSO party - March 9,10, 2000. A lot of people have a lot of different ideas about what a lightbulb QSO Party should look like. Purists want the bulb only radiating from the shack...Experimenters want a 'sky is the limits' approach. So, the QSO Party is going to have 5 different areas of competition for TOP BULB honors: 1. Dummy Load - for the purists - load the bulb in your shack 2. Household - based on lightbulbs commonly used in the household 3. Industrial/Commercial - Based on lightbulbs used in those settings 4. Homebrew - for people who want to build their own home-made lightbulb 5. Freestyle - anything goes - Load the Empire State building if you must.....burn the town down in the process - we don't care Complete details at HAMSIGNAL.COM Hope you can make it...... 73 N1DAY
