Send info of relevant contacts to the group email: anvdg @ bigpond dot com. Contacts made pre 2000 will require QSLs unless recorded in WIA records.

Include as much detail about the contacts as you like, but for the records I need the following -
Category-Distance-Your callsign, name and QTH --Contacted stations Call, name and QTH. The date the contact was made.
- Include grid square locators where known. These will be listed along with the place name (location). Grids are not needed for FMR (FM repeater) contacts. If your unsure of your distance to a contact I can help sort that out.

Propagation Category - Tropo - B = Bight Path; Tropo - I = Inland Path; Tropo - T = Tasman Sea Paths to NZ etc; Tropo - BS = Bass Strait; Aurora = Auroral Scatter; Sporadic E = Sporadic E; Meteor D = Digital Meteor Scatter; Separate Category for Tropo Digital in each band. TEP = Transequatorial Prop.

These records are maintained by Leigh VK2KRR at the group email anvdg@bigpond.com Please be aware that QSL cards may be required.
