All contributors can now be part of a new competition at SATCO DX and even
win a prize!

Every day the chart is updated, one point will be given to the person who
sent in the best (most valuable) contribution for that update.
The person with the highest score on 31 May, will be the winner of the month
and receive a prize. In May, the winner get a StopSpot 101, which can stop
the VCR from recording commercials! (It is working on PAL, SECAM and NTSC.)

Rules and current standings can be found on "Competition" at SATCO DX.
The current competition started on 1 May and will finish on 31 May. A new
competition for June is planned.

PS.
Everyone can be a "contributor". All you have to do is sending in updates to
the chart.
