Frank Dorenberg's awesome Feld Hell web site

Frank, N4SPP, is a long-time Hell practitioner who recently came into possession of an original, working 1938 Siemens Hell-Feldfernschreiber.  Frank has put together a fantastic web site about his station and our niche of Ham Radio.  Visit Frank's site here.

NOVEMBER SPRINT RESULTS:  Pete, KZ1Z was first place in NA and Zahidul, S21VA was our DX winner for the 3-hour Thanksgiving Sprint.  See the complete list of scores here on our Contest page.


December Sprint: In keeping with the holiday spirit, and to help us get as close as we can to Santa Claus, the December Feld Hell Sprint will be all about the North Pole.

DATE: December 20th

TIME: 1600 - 2200Z (We made it 6 hours, by request, to allow for
propagation across NA/SA and Europe/Asia/Africa)

MODES: All modes of Hell are allowed

BANDS: All bands are allowed

EXCHANGE: RST, FH #, QTH (ONLY GIVE STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTRY UNLESS YOUR
TOWN IS NAMED "NORTH POLE."  SEE BELOW...)

BONUS POINTS AS FOLLOWS:

1) 100 points goes for your first QSO with any ham in North Pole, Alaska, North Pole, Idaho, North Pole, New York, or North Pole, Oklahoma.

2) 100 points for your first QSO with the countries, American state, or Canadian provinces that lie above or touch the Arctic Circle: Norway (LA), Sweden (SM), Finland (OH), Alaska (K/W/AL7), Greenland (OX), Iceland (TF), Russia (U and R), and The Yukon (VY1), Northwest Territories (VE8), and Nunavut (VY0).  (NOTE: If you made a contact with North Pole, AK you do not get another 100 points for Alaska)

3) 25 points goes for your first QSO in a state (other than Alaska) in which a town named North Pole is located: Idaho, New York, Oklahoma.  (NOTE: If you had a QSO with a North Pole in one of these states, do not enter another 25 points for that state here)

4) Special holiday bonus: 50 points for your first QSO with WW1FHC (FH #001), the club's special callsign which has never been used before this contest.  The callsign will be used by Pete, KZ1Z, who has a BIG signal from Florida.


Note that all other multiplier rules apply, one for each unique state, province, and country you contact.  Contacts with the same state, province, or country on another band does NOT count as another multiplier, but does qualify as another QSO.


Thanks to all of you who submitted ideas for this Sprint.

A trip to Hell
No, not your mother-in-law's house.  Thanks to Ola, LA1WPA (who is also the station manager of LA1K) for telling us about a town in his country that should be near and dear to all club members' heart.  In fact, he and his club won the October Sprint operating from this town.  Click here to visit Hell, Norway.
