CVARS Contests
Current contest is :
CVARS “Executive Board” Award
The January USA contest was lots of fun and many of you took part and received the certificate. During the month of March, CVARS will sponsor the “Executive Board” award contest. The rules are easy. The board currently has seven members. Contact at least five of the seven members during the month of March and receive a great certificate. No QSL cards. Just send an email or call Bob Willey, KD7OWN and let him know you have made the contacts. Keep a note of the date of each contact. Executive Board members are encouraged to send you a QSL card so you might even get some great cards! (hint: most of us are on the Sunday night CVARS net. Give us a call). As usual, certificates will be awarded at the next CVARS meeting which would be April 6th. Come on, join in the fun!
