The exchange is signal report and serial number.<\/p>\n<p>On the afternoon of Easter Monday, 1 April, the IRTS 2m Counties Contest takes place for two hours between 1300 and 1500UTC. There are awards for non-EI stations. If you live in GI or have a good takeoff to Ireland it would be worth giving it a try. The exchange is signal report, serial number and EI and GI stations also send their county.<\/p>\n<p>On 2 April, the 144MHz UK Activity Contest will take place between 1900 and 2130UTC. Using all modes the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.<\/p>\n<p>The SSB leg of RoPoCo takes place on the 80m band on 7 April from 1900 to 2030UTC. Both RoPoCos are HF Championship events, with the maximum output power limited to 100 watts. The exchange is signal report and the full postcode received.<\/p>\n<p>In the 3-hour 1st 70MHz contest there are no multipliers, it\u2019s a straight race to accumulate as many kilometres worked as possible. Although Sporadic-E propagation is not beyond the realms of possibility, no long-haul DX was worked in this event last year or in 2011. Maybe this year? Running from 0900 to 1200UTC on 7 April and using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.<\/p>\n<p>The CW\/SSB leg of the SPDX Contest runs for 24 hours from 1500 on Saturday 6 April using the 1.8 to 28MH z bands. Work Polish stations only, giving them a signal report and serial number. Expect a signal report and a single-letter province code in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 1 April the CW leg of the 80m Club Championships will take place from 1900 to 2030UTC.
