CSVHFS 40th Anniversary States Above 50 MHz Award
Program 2005-20065 Has Begun
The 2005-2006 program began July 1st, 2005. The CSVHFS 40th Anniversary will be celebrated at the 2006 Conference in Minneapolis/St Paul. The States Above 50 MHz Award Program began 10 years ago as a celebration of CSVHFS history and the earlier importance of states and sections in contests. Over the intervening ten years, participants have enjoyed the motivation provided by the program.
In 1996, forty-eight participants submitted entries. Our goal is to top that by far. All CSVHFS members, and all VHF'ers for that matter, are encouraged to collect band-states during this year, track your accomplishment, and submit an entry at the end of the program year.
Consult the website http://www.csvhfs.org/CSVHFTST.HTML for rules and optional forms. Participate!
