The FCC still has not issued K2S, K8S, and N8S at the time of this message.  So,
you may not hear those calls tonight.

The rules this month will be the same as always with the following additions:

- Everyone should enter the list of 1x1 calls they worked in their Soapbox
comments of the autolog.  Please make a separate list for each band.  The
autolog
is at
http://www.ARSqrp.com/ars/ss_log.html

- Five bonus points will be added to the total score for each 1x1 worked.
Working the same 1x1 on a second band counts as two 1x1's and totals 10 points.
Work the same 1x1 on a third band for a total of 15 points, and so on.

- Ten 10 bonus points will be added to the total score for working 1x1's with
all ten numbers (1x1's with each number, zero through nine) in the call.  This
will be the Sweep.

- Special email certificates will be awarded for -
     Top five Skinny and Tubby winners for regular stations
     Top five Skinny and Tubby winner for "S" stations
     Top five outdoor operations, and
     Top five DX entries.

Enjoy, and get your logs in by noon Wednesday.  Results should be posted by
the weekend.

Happy Anniversary ARS!!
