The CHALLENGE:

if you are willing to accept it, is to
make as many contacts as you can
during this time using the callsign:
W5R

Anyone may participate but only
active “paid-up” members
are eligible to receive a “place” and an award.

We will use Discord for tracking, competing, and encouraging one another — our Server (GCARC) and the channel “Special Events”.

Every night please report your total contacts for that day
and specify the mode (CW, Digital or Phone).

See how everyone else is doing and
make your plans for beating them the next day!

If you absolutely don’t want to use Discord, send your totals to Cynthia K5EKA by message or email or phone call. (secretaryGCARC@pm.me) 909-230-1959

There will be prizes — for first and maybe second place in each mode and maybe, third place.

We’re calling these places:

Gold Ribbon

Silver Ribbon

Bronze Ribbon

Copper Ribbon
