Radio Golf
2024 Piglet Radio Golf Open
October 5, 2024
Prather Road Park - 12575 River Rd, Carmel, IN 46033
This event will take place at Prather Park in Carmel at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 5th and last until 11:30 or 12:00.
The goal of the event will be to make 18 QSOs by calling an open CQ. These 18 QSOs will equate to one hole of a golf round and will be used to determine the score of your round. Depending on the QTH state or country of the responding station, you may score a birdie(3), par(4), bogey(5), or double bogey (6). For non-Canadian DX, it is also possible to score an eagle (2). The scores for each state are listed on your scorecard and greater distances will earn lower scores. The value for each state was determined by the distance from Indiana as determined non-scientifically by me so don't overthink it.
There will be a prize for the winner (lowest score). There are also fun bonus opportunities listed on the scorecard which result in stroke deductions from your final score. If you intend to take part in the event, I'd recommend looking at these ahead of time and making a plan to achieve the maximum bonus. Additional rules may be communicated on-site. You do not need your own radio equipment or an amateur radio license to participate. We will assign all attendees to a team. Early formation of teams and/or discussion of tactics (publicly or privately) is acceptable.
