Also, we are going to ask that ALL contestants who plan to enter have their entry fee paid no later than 30 days from this post. If we do not have the required 15 entries by this time and date then the contest will be pulled and money will be refunded. (We DEFINITELY DO NOT want this. We wanna see some great builds!!)

Good luck to all that plan to enter and all that have entered thus far 

The fighting and fussing was getting such that we figured that if we limit the application time, then people would either «pee, or get off the pot», so to speak. So we decided to give everyone a fair time to decide if they want to participate. That also allows us to refund everyone quickly if the interest wasn`t there, and we don`t get the minimum 15 participants.

If you ask me, there are some great prizes to be won too!  :o

Hope to have pics of my contribution to the prizes very soon!

Just to confuse everyone I'm gonna put each component of my English Channel build on a separate board, how much is the entry fee?

In case this hasn't already been suggested....

Build your circuit using point to point and no board. Entry fee waived?  :icon_wink:

Nope... Entry fee still applies ;D

But, you will probably impress the judges with a point-to-point build  :o

EDIT: See above post  ;) Thanks Dino!

That reminds me of this colorsound wah clone I built 10 years ago, on a piece of flat steel. Its quite heavy. Handwound inductor and dalo pen pcb if I remember right. Still have it but the Alpha pot wore out. Do you think I should get it going and enter it in the comp? Nahh...

I would totally do it, except we're metric here so I don't think I'll be able to find a two by four :(

Units don't matter. In the US, a 2x4 isn't actually 2x4 anyway. Make it 2nm x 4nm or 2m x 4m. Your choice.  :)

I would imagine that depends on the exact amp in question.

point to point, dead bug, a hunk of cardboard for a circuit board, it's all good. ;)
