Australian Remembrance Day Contest 2013

Remembrance Day 2013 falls on the same weekend as the International Lighthouse weekend.

Alan VK4SN says "Unfortunately the RD cannot be moved. Lighthouse stations are welcome and encouraged to submit logs for the RD while having enjoyed both activities. "

Remember that the new start and finish times are 0300z or 1PM eastern states. This time will let you have half a day free on both days of the weekend.

Teams were very successful last year, so please notify vk4sn@wia.org.au of your team members prior to the start of the contest.
