Hi SOTA-friends,

on Sunday 20.07.2008 the HB9-NMD (Swiss National Mountain Day)
takes part from 06:00 - 09:59 UTC.

Band: 80m, Mode: only CW.

The HB9-(NMD)stn sends RST and a word with at least 15 letters.
Stations outside HB9 only RST.

from a SOTA-ref. within the SOTA-rules:

HB9AFH/p HB/ZH-004
HB9BGG/p HB/ZH-005
HB9DEO/p HB/SZ-021
HB9QH/p HB/ZH-011

In reply to HB9CSA:

Hi Fritz,

This is a good reminder. There is one clarification however - the HB9 Mountain Day stations only send the 15-letter word/message to OTHER HB9 Mountain Day stations.

The “Shack Sloth” stations - including HB9 - only need to send (and receive) the RST. Once in a while a Mountain Day station will send you the 15-character message anyway - you can just ignore it, and say TU/73, etc.
