SPACE COAST CHAPTER

A TRIP THROUGH THE SOLAR SYSTEM

In this worksheet you will work stations representing the sun, planets,
etc. in our Solar System. To begin the trip you must first work
the Sun. You then work all of the items up to the Heliopause, but they
need not be worked in any particular order.  The Heliopause must be
worked last, however, in order to complete your trip.

The effective date of the worksheet will be 1 March 2005 at 0001 UTC.
There is no time limit, so you may work the worksheet until you
have it completed.

10 points will be awarded for working the Sun and the Heliopause.
5 points will be awarded for each of the other items.  A total of
170 points can be earned for completing this worksheet.

The wild cards for this special will be those callsigns with the same
two (2) letters in the suffix of the callsign, e.g. KA5V V D, N6TXT,
DK0HHC, etc.  You may use three wild cards and and they may be used for
anything but the SUN and the HELIOPAUSE.
