FISTS Down Under - Contests

Contests can be a wonderful way to meet members of the FISTS Down Under Inc. club and also make new contacts with other Amateur Operators who you may not have met before.

With that in mind, FISTS Down Under Inc. will be running contests throughout the year to promote CW operation, and will be open to all Amateur Radio Operators in which to participate.

Each contest may be a little different in operation however, the overriding objective is to have fun and promote CW operation.

FISTS Down Under Inc. - The Raven Contest
Saturday, 14th April, 2018/ 0930 - 1030 UTC (7-30PM Sydney Eastern Standard Time)

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten code.
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, tapping out that wondrous mode.
Tis some one calling, calling CQ
Only this and nothing more.
