Adventist World Radio Annual DX Contest
“Choose a Channel”  -  AWR 40th Anniversary DX Contest

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Adventist World Radio, our DX program
“Wavescan” is conducting a big worldwide DX contest, “Choose a Channel”.

It was back on October 1, 1971, that AWR made its first broadcast on
shortwave in a service originating out of Portugal and beamed towards
various countries in Europe.

Here are the details of our 2011 “Choose a Channel” DX Contest:-

A. Choose a Channel
**We invite you to choose any shortwave channel, just one channel, anywhere
in
the world upon which Adventist World Radio is broadcasting, during the month
of June 2011.

B. Prepare Reception Reports
You are invited to listen to the shortwave channel that you have chosen at
any time, day and/or night, during the month of *June 2011, and see how many
different stations, including Adventist World Radio, that you can hear on
that one specific channel.  You are invited to prepare a standard reception
report for each station, one sheet of paper for each station.

C. Photocopies
You are invited to search your QSL collection, and where possible, provide a
photocopy of a QSL that you already hold in your collection from each of the
shortwave stations that you hear on that one channel.  These photocopies
should be in color if possible, but black & white is also acceptable.  If
you do not already have a QSL from any of the stations you select, then you
should state so in your contest entry.

D. Three Radio Cards
Where possible, you are invited to include three radio cards for the
Indianapolis Heritage Collection with your contest entry.  These cards may
be old or new, and they may be QSL cards, reception report cards, or picture
cards of radio stations, etc.  (Not valid for this contest are amateur cards
nor CB cards.)

E. Assemble Your Contest Entry
Post your entry with all items to Adventist World Radio in Indianapolis,
remembering that the total number of stations you hear on the channel, and
neatness and preparation, will all feature in the judging procedure.

Remember also, that we will then post your reception reports to the other
shortwave stations involved, requesting them to issue QSL cards to you in
response.

Other Contest Details
Well, there you have it, the details for our Wavescan 2011 “Choose a Channel
DX Contest”.  This contest will run through the month of June 2011, and all
contest entries should be postmarked at your local post office anywhere in
the world on any date up to the end of the month of June, and they should be
received at the AWR post office address in Indianapolis no later than the
end of the month of July 2011.

Return postage in the form of currency notes in an international currency,
or mint postage stamps, or IRC coupons would be welcome.  Where possible, a
self addressed return envelope, business size or half quarto size, would
also be welcome.

The awards for this year’s contest will be similar to all previous contests.
There will be a special award for the world winner, one of the Jerry Berg
radio history books; and World Radio TV Handbook 2012 for each continental
winner.  In addition, there will be other special awards as well as AWR
souvenirs and radio curios for many participants.

You can remember that all AWR reception reports will be verified with a
specially endorsed AWR QSL card.  Please remember that it will take a period
of many months, well into the new year 2112, to process all of the contest
entries and reception reports, but each will in due course be processed.

The only address for the AWR “Choose a Channel” 2011 DX Contest is:-
Choose a Channel DX Contest
Box 29235
Indianapolis
Indiana 46229 USA
