What is an ARS Spartan Sprint and how can I participate?

The Adventure Radio Society Spartan Sprint is a two hour QRP contest on the first Monday of every month encouraging QRP operators to get on, or near standard QRP frequencies for an evening of fun.

The contest period for each time zone:

EASTERN 8:00 p.m. to 10 p.m.
CENTRAL 7:00 p.m. to 9 p.m.
MOUNTAIN 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m.
PACIFIC 5:00 p.m. to 7 p.m.
UTC STANDARD TIME 0100Z to 0300Z
UTC DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME 0000Z to 0200Z

Contest Exchange:

Your call sign
Your state or province
Power output

There is scoring in both Skinny and Tubby divisions. The weight of your station consists everything except your antenna and feedline. If your station includes your home-based rig, antenna tuner, DC power supply, heavy paddle or bug - obviously not lightweight - simply report 30 lbs. That is the default weight for the Tubby division.

Working the same station on two bands counts as two contacts.

To report your results, send an e-mail no later than Thursday, to spartansprint@yahoo.com with the following information:

Your call.
Total number of contacts (all bands) during the sprint.
The weight of your station in pounds.

Soapbox comments, which may include power, equipment, antennas, band conditions, outdoor experiences, and anything else, are encouraged.

We look forward to seeing you in the next Spartan Sprint.
