Hello all,

 

We're now only a week away from our Holiday Listening Event.
This will be a challenging but fun CLE, based on an idea originally from Alan.

Starting on Christmas Day and running for 11 days (10 nights), it will most likely give anyone a chance for 
listening during gaps between the festivities.

CLE323 will be our 7th 'Noah's Ark' event - last used for CLE287 three years ago when 27 of us joined in.
Just as the animals went into the ark two by two, so the Radio Countries' NDBs will go into our logs two by two.
In other words, during the course of the event we each try to log TWO NDBs from as many radio countries as we can.
e.g. 2 from Germany, 2 from Spain, 2 from Russia (Eu), 2 from Quebec Province, 2 from California, 2 from Florida, . . .

Whether you are a regular CLE listener, an occasional one, or have never sent a CLE log, everyone is welcome to 
join us in this event.

 

Days:                  Thursday 25 December – Sunday 04 January
Times:                 Start and end at midday, LOCAL time at the receiver
Target:                A maximum of TWO NDBs from each Radio Country
Range:                 190 – 1740 kHz

 

 

Please join us wherever you are and try to log TWO NDBs from each of as many radio countries as you can.
For AUS, CAN and USA, all states / provinces are valid countries.
Each International Waters region is also a separate valid radio country of course.
Each NDB making the pairs can be logged at any time during the event.
UNIDs are excluded this time.
Noah didn't have single animals in the Ark, but if you are ONLY ABLE TO LOG ONE NDB from a Country, do include 
it in your log without a mate!

All our radio countries are listed in the NDB List Website at http://www.ndblist.info/index_htm_files/countrylist.pdf.
Also Rxx can provide you with a list of radio countries by visiting https://rxx.classaxe.com/countries.

  
Please look out for our full 'Final Details' this coming Monday.

That will include advice about the NDBs to listen for, how to present your log, etc.
