You can call it \n> something else as I had to do when we had the AO-40 Birthday Bash. When \n> I called it a contest, it was strictly frowned upon and the name was \n> changed. If I remember, it was a one or two week event to make contacts \n> on the first anniversary of the satellite's launch. \n> \n> When you have an event, it must be something that is available to all \n> satellite users worldwide, not just an event for those on one continent \n> or country. That is why all the awards that AMSAT-NA offers as well as \n> some other AMSAT's are not called contests. They are operating \n> achievements and normally do not have a end of life. The AO-51 51 on 51 \n> award was an event that lasted a year but did not require anything \n> special other than using the satellite to make contacts with 51 \n> different stations. You can see where this is going vs. having a true \n> contest. \n> \n> 73...bruce \n> AMSAT Director Contests and Awards \n> \n> On 12/13/2008 2:01 AM, [email protected] wrote: \n> > With the wx getting more \"cabin feavorish\", the voices in my head are saying \n> we should have an impromptu AMSAT contest where the exchange would be your grid \n> square and your AMSAT member number.
