Here are the rules:

• You must use a D-220 with native (built-in) antenna (no hooking it up to your two-mile-long Beverage antenna)
• No use of other radios or SDRs as “spotter” radios.
• You must ID off the air.
• Any band the D-220 receives.
• Any location.
• Contest starts 6 pm your local time on Friday, August 16, 2024 and it ends at 6 pm your local time on Sunday, August 18, 2024.
• Log the time, the estimated frequency, the station ID and what you heard. In addition, provide the total number of stations you logged on each band, as well as the distance to your longest logging on each band.

There are no prizes, just bragging rights.

Feel free to report in lavish detail on your experience during the contest . . . especially if you had fun!

There are two ways to report your results.

1. If you simply want to report your total number of logged stations on each band the D-220 receives, as well as the distance to your longest logging on each band, do it in the comments section of this post. (This will save some bandwidth for Thomas.)

2. If you want to report your detailed loggings for each band, you can post them in response to this message on the SWLing Post Message Board: https://swling.net/viewtopic.php?t=206

Finally, if you find any of the above confusing or unclear, please let me know immediately. You can post here in the comments or reach out to me here: [email protected]

Remember, the whole point of this is to have fun!
