Offers the All Seasons contest Tournament. A new concept in contesting. We have compiled the best 3 International Digital Contests into a very exciting group and added yet another, The Grid Dip, to round out the four seasons.
   
Many thanks to Joaquin Gusano Gascia, EA4ZB, and his friend Mr. Jose Nieva for this excellent Spanish translation.
We at TARA are excited about this new contest concept. The four (4) contests below are offered, as always, as individual events. Contest certificates are a thing of the past. TARA is proud to announce:
OnLineContestAchievementRecognition, [OLCAR]
A system that we are pioneering. Your operating prowess will be there for the entire world to see, instead of only visitors to your shack. We offer OLCAR for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each category of each contest.

Big Ernie, WM2U, says, "If you really must stay in the 20thcentury and really want one of those old fashioned paper things, please contact your contest manager, listed below, and they will organize one for ya!"  To view the certificates offered please click here.

Each separate contest offers it's own awards but an accumulated list will be maintained on the web site, such that a yearly, over all Digital King or Queen will be recognized as the World Digital Leader. Checkout the Tournament Rules web page. To achieve this exalted position within the ranks of your Amateur Peers, simply keep an eye on the Tour'ney results page and ensure that your accumulated credit total, from all four contests is ... well the highest submitted. Rumble Team scores do not count for this, only your personal score. We will automatically enter you into the Tour'ney and maintain your credit totals for each contest on our Seasons Results page.  All these contests offer the convenience of OnLine Score Submission,  relieving the operator of  log mailing. Couple this with OnLine Score Calculation which cuts out the rules interpretation problems, and you will enjoy the ultimate digital contesting  experience offered today.  A very handsome plaque can be claimed by the Tournament winner once in his/her lifetime, after which any future wins will get a  high quality year endorsement  for adding to the basic Plaque.
We also have a new program of digital mode awards, which are complementary to the contests.  At present we offer a Digital Prefix Award, The TARA-PX and a Grid Square Award, The TARA-Grid. Remember, the multipliers in these contests count toward the relevant award.  Enjoy!

Now, this contest has been in the making for a few months. For the Grid Square junkies, look no further. We at TARA are excited about this contest. We are considering a VHF addition to this contest for your future enjoyment.

The first ever PSK contest in the world. First run in Spring 1999.  Initially run twice a year, this contest is now the premier PSK contest. Expanded to include PSK10, 31 and 63 but not separate scored. It will be run once a year as the Fall Classic.

Formally the TARA RTTY Sprint, it was introduced in December 1991. This popular Rtty contest has now been expanded to bring it into the 21st Century. It now offers several improvements to the rules beginning in 2003. It is a true Pedigree.

This contest was first run experimentally in 2002 as The DPX.  It boasts multi digital mode operation, each mode being a separate entry. For the prefix hunters out there, this contest is a must. There will be many new or rare prefixes heard.
