CONTESTS:

 

 

Worked All Europe DX Contest--CW, sponsored by the Deutscher ARC from 0000Z Aug 13-2359Z Aug 14, (phone is Sep 10-11; RTTY is Nov 12-13). Frequencies: 80-10 meters according to Region I band plan. Categories: SOHP, SOLP, MS, SWL. Spotting assistance allowed (SO stations not using spotting assistance will be noted). SO operate 36 hrs max, up to three off periods of 1 hour min. Non-EU work EU only except RTTY, where everyone works everyone. Exchange: RS(T) and serial number. Score 1 pt/QSO and 1 pt/QTC. Final score is QSOs + QTCs × weighted multipliers. Multipliers: non-EU use WAE countries, EU use DXCC entities plus call districts in W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS, JA, PY and RA8/9/Ø. (RTTY use WAE inside EU, DXCC outside EU, plus call districts.) Mults on 80 m count ×4, on 40 m ×3, otherwise ×2. A QTC is a report sent from a non-EU station back to an EU station of QSOs that took place earlier in the contest (RTTY QTC may only be exchanged between continents). A QTC contains the time, call sign, and QSO number of the station being reported (eg, 1307/DL1AA/346). A QSO may only be reported once and not back to the originating station. A maximum of 10 QTCs can be sent to a single station. The same station can be worked several times to complete this quota, but only the original QSO has QSO point value. Keep a list of QTCs sent. For example, QTC 3/7 would indicate that this is the third series of QTCs sent, and seven QSOs are reported. For more information: www.waedc.de. Logs due by Sep 15 (CW), Oct 15 (Phone) or Dec 15 (RTTY) to waedc@dxhf.darc.de or to WAEDC Contest Manager, Bernhard Buettner, DL6RAI, Schmidweg 17, 85609 Dornach, Germany.
