The net controllers have already picked a number between 1 and the current check-in record. No, silly, we are not telling you what it is. At the end of the net, we will announce which check-in was that number, and that lucky person wins a Radioddity GD77. If you are the winner and already have a GD77, if you don't need one, please have the courtesy to pass the win on to someone else and ask that another number be drawn. We will continue drawing until we have a winner.
Once chosen, the winner will need to provide their name and address to Chris Smart, VE3RWJ, so it can be forwarded along to someone at Radioddity and the radio can be shipped to them.
W8LM Note- GD77 is a DMR/analog radio. witha 2.8" color display. The demand for this radio has increased with hams re-writing the firmware, so the radio speaks and can be operated by sightless amateurs. This makes it especially desirable as you do not have to look at the display especially when driving.
