PRIZES FOR THE LIVE W5KUB.COM WEBCAST

2023 HUNTSVILLE HAMFEST

August 19 & 20, 2023, Huntsville, Alabama

Prize eligibility requires a user to be logged into the W5KUB.com chat room. User Name registration is not required for this event. You may use your IRC chat client or Libera chat (chatroom we use), and the room is #w5kub.

Prize winners are selected by Hambot, a computerized random name selector program. The winner’s names are chosen randomly and announced. You must be in the w5kub.com chat room to win. When it is time for a prize, Hambot will announce the prize and request that everyone please stop chatting during the give-away. Hambot will announce the name selected as a possible winner. That person must claim he is “here” to receive the prize. Hambot will give multiple announcements of the selected name and a count down. If the person has not “claimed” or identified themselves before the time is up, Hambot will start the process again and announce a new name. This will repeat until someone wins the prize. If Hambot states that the time is up, that is the final decision.

W5KUB.com makes every effort to list prizes accurately, but mistakes happen. W5KUB.com is not responsible for typos or incorrect prizes, model numbers, descriptions, pictures, shipping restrictions, etc. All prizes will be awarded as the donor intended. W5KUB.com is not responsible for the non-shipment of a prize by a donor/vendor. Prizes are sent to you directly from the donor.

If you won a prize:

• Immediately send an email to prizes@w5kub.com. The message should include the name of your prize and your name, call (if applicable), mailing address (no post office box), and email address. Prize winners with a USA call sign MUST provide a USA mailing address for prize delivery. If not, you will forfeit your prize.

• Within ten days after Hamfest, we will email your contact information to the vendor/donor of your prize, and you will receive a copy of the message. The donor will ship your prize based on your contact information sent to prizes@W5KUB.com. It is your responsibility to report any errors to the donor ASAP. Any further communication should be between you and the donor.

• If you are required to pay for shipping, the cost and payment method will be provided in your email message.
