annual listener contest, and for this year the title is: "Silent
Shortwave Station Contest". You are invited to search through your
own QSL collection and assemble together all of your QSLs that verify
the reception of shortwave stations and/or shortwave transmitters that
are no longer on the air. In addition to the regular awards
worldwide, there will be special awards for those who include a
reception report of our DX program, "Wavescan", via
radio Miami International WRMI, in Miami Florida. Here are all of the details:-
1. List what you consider to be the five best QSLs from shortwave
stations or transmitters that are no longer on the air. The "best"
may be described as the station or the transmitter itself, or the
distance, or the power, or the age, or the circumstances under which
you heard the station; or the QSL card itself, etc. (Do not send the
original cards.)
2. In one paragraph each, describe the reason why you consider each
card to be one of the best in your collection.
3. Enclose a photocopy or each of these five cards, preferably in
color, though black and white may be acceptable. Remember, do not
send the originals.
4. Send at least three reception reports on any AWR broadcast from
KSDA Guam, or any AWR relay broadcast via any relay station anywhere
in the world. The AWR broadcasts may be on shortwave, mediumwave, or
FM. All reception reports will be verified with a contest endorsement
on the QSL card.
5. Where possible, please enclose three radio cards for inclusion in
the Indianapolis QSL collection. These cards may be old or new, and
they may be QSL cards, reception report cards, picture cards, etc.
Not valid for this contest are amateur nor CB QSL cards.
