The Fixed Station Sweepers Section is aimed at participants who, for what ever reason, can't get out portable and join in the contest under the current rules.
The aim is to try and work as many registered VHF NFD stations as possible. Awards will be made for the highest score on each band as well as a series of awards for working 50, 75 and 90% of the available NFD registered stations on each band.
