GA MA and 2A Awards To coincide with the new GA, MA and 2A prefixes, the GMDX Group will be awarding Homecoming Scotland Engraved Challenge Trophies to the top three stations, outside Scotland, contacting the largest number of different GA, MA and 2A stations between 10 August and 30 November 2009. For a given station, each band-mode combination worked counts as a separate qso. Similarly, engraved trophies will be awarded to the top three stations in Scotland who, using the GA, MA and 2A prefixes only, work the the largest number of stations outside Scotland. To enter, submit your total score of stations worked by the first week in December 2009, via email only to gm0gav_AT_hfdx.co.uk. Once the leading 6 stations in each category are identified, the GMDX Group Committee will request log submissions from these stations to determined the final three winners in each category. There are no costs for entrants. Elecraft K3 review Dave G4AON describes his experiences building and operating this digital radio.
