Worked All NCDXA “RST” Stations: A Special Event from KL7, VY1 and VE8! Members of the North Country DX Association (NCDXA) will be active in February and March 2016 from several different locations in Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories using KL7RST, VY1RSTand VE8RSTto further promote Amateur Radio up north. This may just be a first for the north- a joint-venture KL7, VY1 and VE8 special event. All modes 6-160 meters and WARC bands are permissible. SWLs are welcome to participate. The object is to work or log (SWL) as many NCDXA “RST” stations as you can from their different locations. Work/log each “RST” station only once per their QTH/band and mode. Watch the DX spots as we plan to have stations on from Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and many other cities (maybe an Alaskan glacier or two!). QSL manager is K7ICE. Optional full color certificates are also available (email JohnKL7JR@gmail.com for details) for working/hearing any of the “RST” stations. SPECIAL EVENT DATE:February 15 (0000Z) through March 27 (2359Z) EXCHANGE:NCDXA “RST” stations send signal report and QTH (ie- 5x9 Anchorage, 5x9 Whitehorse etc.). Receiving stations send signal report and state, province or country. CERTIFICATE LEVELS:Beautiful full color certificates are available for working/logging (1)any NCDXA “RST” station, (2)any KL7RST, VY1RST or VE8RST, but must work one of each (3)for those more competitive (keep in mind the scoring is for certificate levels and this is not a contest), a highest score category. Scoring example: K7QRM works KL7RST in Anchorage on 10m SSB, 10m CW, 15m SSB and 40m CW for his Anchorage total of 4 points. K7QRM works KL7RST at MatanuskaGlacier on 10m SSB and 12m SSB for his Matanuska Glacier total of 2 points. K7QRM also works VY1RST in Whitehorse on 10 SSB, 15m digital, 40m CW and 30m CW for 4 points. K7QRM also works VE8RST in Yellowknife on 10m SSB and 20m SSB for a total of 2 points. K7QRM also works VE8RST in Hay River on 10m SSB for 1 point total. K7QRM’s grand total points are the city QSO sum of 13 points. Handwritten or pc generated certificate applications are acceptable. First, 2nd, 3rd etc. places will be awarded. Certificate deadline is May 15, 2016. As a bonus, pending snow depth and weather, we may also have KL7RST and VY1RST on together from the border of Alaska and the Yukon on the Alaska Highway. That has got to be another first for the north! A special QSL and certificate will be available for the border op.
