Sweepstakes Sponsor Appreciation Program

 About the program

On March 23, 2002, GigaParts.com gave away a TS-B2000 in the first of many online Sweepstakes.

The success of this Sweepstakes is owed not only to those hams who enter every day, but also to those participants who make purchases on our website after they enter the Sweepstakes. These hams are the true sponsors of this promotion.

To show our appreciation to these folks, we have developed some interesting content such as a report of the number of entries for their callsign in previous Sweepstakes compared to the number of entries for the winning callsign.

 Frequently Asked Questions

Who may request these statistics?

* Each online orders placed on our web site during the current Sweepstakes qualifies for the statistics of ONE callsign to be calculated. Phone orders, mail orders, and in-store purchases do not qualify at this time.

May I request statistics for someone else’s callsign?

* Absolutely! But only one request may be made per purchase. You can't change your mind after your request has been submitted.

How many requests may I submit?

* You may make one request for every order you place during the CURRENT sweepstakes period. When the next Sweepstakes begins, you must make another request (which requires another order).

If I place an order by phone or by mail or make a purchase in your store, can I make a request?

* No. At this time, a web order confirmation number is required.

Which web orders qualify for a request?

* Web orders that have not been cancelled and the date the order was placed falls within the current Sweepstakes period.

Does making a purchase from GigaParts increase my chances of winning?

* No way! Each entry and bonus entry are assigned a sequential number in a database and a random number provided by an outside agency determines the winner. The integrity of this Sweepstakes is of utmost importance to us and is the basis of its success.

If I type in the wrong callsign on the request form, can I email you and have you fix it?

* No. Please be sure to type in the callsign correctly. If there are no statistics available for the callsign you enter, your submission will not be accepted and you may try again. But if the callsign you submit has entered any Sweepstakes, the statistics for that callsign will be calculated and you will need to make another purchase to make another request.

If I submit a false order and submit a request for statistics with that order number, what will happen?

* You will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes.
