[amsat-bb] ATTENTION EDITORS! (SKN on OSCAR 2003)

["Ray Soifer" <ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's that time of year again!  Please include the following announcement, or
your own news item about it, in an issue of your Amateur Radio publication
that will be in readers' hands by 1 January 2003.

STRAIGHT KEY NIGHT ON OSCAR 2003

You are cordially invited to participate in the 30th annual Straight Key
Night on OSCAR, conducted by AMSAT-NA for Radio Amateurs throughout the
world.

There are no rules, no scoring and no logs required.  Just operate CW on any
OSCAR satellite, using a straight hand key, from 0000 UTC to 2400 UTC on 1
January 2003, working as many SKN stations as you can.  The moon (OSCAR
Zero) counts too.

In keeping with the friendly nature of this event, each participant is asked
to nominate one of the operators worked for "Best Fist."  It is not
necessary that your nominee have the best fist of anyone you heard, just of
those you worked.  Please send your nomination to W2RS via e-mail at
w2rs@amsat.org, via packet radio at W2RS @ WA2SNA.NJ.USA.NA, or by mail.
Those nominated will be recognized in an ANS Bulletin to be published in
early February, and in The AMSAT Journal.

73,

Ray, W2RS
