AWR DX Program "Wavescan" - Annual DX Contest - 2010 "Station Profiles"

It's that time of the year again! Yes, we're talking about our big annual
DX contest here in "Wavescan". The title for our big 2010 DX contest is
"Station Profiles", and here are the details for all five parts in this year's
contest:-

A. Five Station Profiles:

Make a list of five different radio stations for which you would like to
have a "Station Profile" presented on air in a coming edition of "Wavescan".
You may suggest five different radio stations, or the radio stations in five
different cities, or in five different countries, or any combinations of
these designations. These radio stations may still be on the air, or they
may now be silent. You may choose only shortwave broadcasting stations, or
shortwave communication stations that have been used also for broadcasting.

B. Five Paragraphs:

You are invited to write just one short paragraph about each of the five
stations you have chosen in the above list, and state why you have chosen
that particular station.

C. Five Photocopies:

You are invited to search your QSL collection, and where possible, provide a
photocopy of a QSL from each of the five radio stations in your above list.
These photocopies should be in color if possible, but black & white is also
acceptable. If you do not have a QSL from any of the stations you select,
then you should indicate the reason why you do not have a QSL; such as for
example, the station is now silent, or you are unable to hear the station in
your part of the world, or they do not verify reception reports, etc.

D. Three Reception Reports:

You are invited to send in at least three reception reports on any
transmission from Adventist World Radio on any station, shortwave,
mediumwave and FM.

E. 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.)

Other Contest Details:

Well, there you have it, the details for our "Wavescan 2010 Station Profiles
DX Contest". This contest will run through the month of July 2010, 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 July, and they should be
received at the AWR post office address in Indianapolis no later than the
end of the month of August 2010.
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 2011 for each continental
winner. In addition, there will be other special awards as well as AWR
souvenirs and radio curios for many participants. There will be special
awards for listeners in Africa responding to this year's contest.
You can remember that all reception reports will be verified with a
specially endorsed AWR QSL card. Please remember that it will take a period
of many months to process all of the reception reports, but each will in due
course be verified. In addition, and over a period of time, it is our
intent to present in our Wavescan DX program, many, and perhaps all, of the
"Station Profiles" as submitted in this year's DX contest.
When we present each of these specific "Station Profiles" in our "Wavescan"
program, we will also call on-air the listener who made the suggestion.
When the listener hears his name in the program, he can send in a reception
report and receive a specially endorsed QSL card.

The only address for the AWR Station Profile DX Contest is:-

NO MORE POLITICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!

First of all I would like to Congratulate our brave soldiers for winning the 59 hours' battle against evil terrorist in Mumbai. My heartiest salute to them and my tearful condolence to all the martyrs who sacrificed their precious life only to make our coming days better.

This is not the first time when bloody terrorists attacked our country. India has a long history of these same bloody activities. BUT very recently the intensity of these attacks have increased. Delhi, Jaipur, Bengalore, Ahemdabad, Guwahati, Mumbai--every where innocent citizens' life were taken by these terrorists. And what is happning after all these incident, politicians blaming each other, announcing packages to the victims, and thats all!!!! they are only trying to strengthen their vote bank! So, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Wake up India!!!!! Wake up youths!!! This is enough ! Mumbai is free thats true, but at the cost of 190 innocent people's life, 20 brave soldiers' sacrifice and that too against only 10 terrorists' blood! And again the same picture, politicians coming out of home all after every thing is over, shouting on each other, distributing packages! Can the bring back those more than 200 priceless lives at the cost of their money? Whether they can bring back the smiles on the faces who lost their loved ones in this Tragedy???? NO NO NO! AND THATS ENOUGH !!!!

IF WE DO NOT WAKE UP NOW, THEN WE WILL BE PAYING A LOT FOR THIS IN FUTURE. STILL we need to won the battle against bloody terrorism nationwide. And for this we need a clean leader not a selfish politician. You could be one such leader my friend. Just contribute as par your capacity or creativity in this national revolution against dirty politics in India. Just AVOID THESE UNFAITHFUL POLITICIAN......

LET US JOIN OUR HANDS TO EVACUATE BLOODY TERRORISM from INDIA, OUR MOTHER INDIA..
