Why is this interesting?

Now multimedia materials are widely spread and can be achieved very easy,that´s why we have a good chance on it.

This competition...

 helps ham to help other people knowing about ham radio.

It is interesting for making a good remebrance of that radio exhibition,local project of your club or yourself,DX-pedition, that later can be used on your pormotion of ham radio.

It can be interesting for educational projects at schools,High degree centers or even multimedia deparments of universities.

If you are ham and multimedia creator you have a good opportunity to demostrate your skills.

If you know anyone that can be interested on this proyect  don´t hesitate sending him this information.

So long as they don't put any multimedia emissions on hf...HAW HAW HAW!
ARRL, close your eyes now...

 

just say"HELLO" a million times. Not to offend our friends in Spain "HOLA"! see new ARRL public video"HELLO".

 

If this had a seperate Amateur and Professional category, it could be very interesting. Without it, you are just cannon fodder for the pros.

That lives Spain? I guess this is one of those phrases that gets lost in translation. How about ¡Manera de ir España!? (Way to go, Spain!) -KR4WM
