Wow, they're still doing these? I though this test went extinct with the

I thought the same thing when I saw a notice sometime within the past few
years. I'm pretty sure, then, that they did stop it, and it's now
been resurrected.

Now, it seems more of a challenge, and obviously more people have
pretty fancy equipment than in the old days. Even thirty years ago,
this wasn't just a contest, but a means of testing oneself when there
wasn't common equipment to be really accurate in frequency.
