FMH Portable Operations Challenge 2021, Parallel Regional or Local Group Competitions

/

To increase participation in the FMH Portable Operations Challenge 2021, parallel regional or local group competitions based on how entrants are positioned in the final results of the POC are being encouraged by Ed Durrant DD5LP.

Those who would like to do this for their group or region, should send an email to regionalcontestlist (at) gmail (dot) com to be added to the list of groups coordinating these local "overlay" competitions.

The regional organiser's call sign and the geographic area or group of people to be covered should be in the email. No separate rules or scoring is required - the regional organiser takes the complete result list after the POC finishes and extracts the data out for those competing in their group or region to identify their local winners.
