Вот такой контест придумали греки.

TRIATHLON RTTY-SSB-CW CONTEST

1. Objective: A triathlon is a multi-sport event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. The word "triathlon" is of Greek origin from τρεις or trei (three) and αθλος or athlos (contest). While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its ham form, involves the three most popular modes RTTY, SSB and CW. Triathletes compete for the biggest score in its Radio Amateur variation. Amateurs around the world will try to be the Ironham (the winner in original Triathlon called Ironman) and contact other amateurs in as many countries as possible and as many Greeks amateurs as possible.

Коля, спасибо за инфо. Могу поучаствовать в CW туре, надеюсь другие чл
ены коллектива поучаствуют в первых двух. Не очень понятно вот что:
7. Exchange: Stations from Greece send SV. И боле ничего, ни RST, ни номера? Может, после SV идет каое-нибудь число? Типа провинции? А если просто SV, то число греков - множитель?
