ZX0F – CQWW SSB 1999 Operação Multi Multi

Atilano de Oms Sobrinho By – PY5EGInitial Planning – The Stage is mounted.
A major operation Multi-transmissores/multi-operadores 1999 CQWW SSB Contest at the callsign under special ZX0F the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha has just been completed.
Led by Atilano de Oms, PY5EG, and under the patronage of Araucaria DX Group, Paraná, Brazil, and also with the support of magnum Bulgarian amateur team, a group of 12 international experts in amateur contests in Brazil, United States, Bulgaria and England reached the island in Second fortnight of October in order to participate in the contest would start 29th and finish on 31

October 1999.
Members of this team included:
Brazil:
PY5EG – Oms – Group LeaderPY5CC – PeterPY5GU – Gus (Augustus – Gugu)PY2KC – Rodrigo
Bulgaria:
LZ1JK – VaskoLZ1JY – Nick
United States:
K1CC – RichK1LZ – KrassyK1ZM – JeffK2DM – GeorgeN5FA – Jim
England:
PY5ZBU – Don

Support Team:
David – Telecommunications and NetworkNicholas – the Guardian and maintainer of the park antennasAndré (PY0FF) – Our host and provider facilities
A few words are necessary about our host for this operation, Andre Sampaio, PY0FF. The accommodation offered by André rooms with great beds and a wonderful breakfast at a place called and known by all as “Pousada da Morena” in Fernando de Noronha, left the group in terms of total comfortability that if he had to rest and feed during the entire operation. When not operated, or was specifically working with the team, never left the place unguarded for their full support and friendship to all.
The idea of ​​this operation was conceived and originated in the International Convention “Hamvention” in Dayton – United States in May 1999 when Krassy (K1LZ) and Oms (PY5EG) met, combined and agreed to make a serious effort and unusual to the realization of the CQWW SSB using 6 linear fully automatic ACOM 2000 for this operation. Krassy wanted the chance to test the performance of its new line of amplifiers and Oms wanted to see how and how competitive it would be a multi-multi international from the island of Fernando de Noronha.
In past experience, the Araucaria Dx Group has accumulated countless records in both competitions (contest) the CQWW WPX as in in several different categories, such as “Single Band”, “Single-Op. Allband” and “Multi-Single” the existing stations of the group. One normally operated with the special callsign “ZW5B” the QTH of PY5EG, the other younger and station group is operated with the special callsign “ZX5J” Serra da Boa Vista, near Florianópolis / SC On the island of Fernando de Noronha, the Araucaria DX Group also installed a competitive season for competitions, usually using the special callsign “ZX0F.” On the island, the terrain and the space is quite small and there is not enough room for a strong operation for Multi-Multi. It is much more a season for categories Multi-Single, Single Op-all band. Single-Op or Band.single
Even given these limitations, the group decided to operate the CQWW SSB 1999, the Multi-Multi category with the main objective to learn some of the most important techniques in operation in this category and also broaden and enhance knowledge for a big future project. The idea is to build a station dedicated to specific operations Multi-Multi.
From May to October, intensive preparations were carried out, where the group used Internet resources, such as E-Mail and radio to hit himself, prepare, mix and finalize preparations. The logistics plan consisted of a huge task including numerous shipments and shipments of material to the island. This included ACOM amplifiers, thousands of meters of coaxial cable, wires and cables to the antennas, and Helium gas cylinders to support and sustain the various low frequency antennas. The “experts” software also worked hard to adapt the program “CT” program “DXTELNET” and run them in a secure communications network to be used in competition.
The project included the use of Yagi antennas monoband in “stack” (stacked) for 10m bands., 15m., And 20m., Two Yagi antennas for monoband banda 40m. and wire and vertical antennas for the low bands of 80m. and 160m. Antennas “Beverage” phased were built to improve and optimize the reception at 80m. and 160m.
One of the biggest challenges was to address and solve the problem of interference between stations due to the confinement of the antennas on a small piece of land. Nick, LZ1JY and Krassy, ​​K1LZ, performed the work with utmost efficiency. It was amazing how they have reduced the level of interference and minimal space so small.
Additionally, the group would optimize the search for multipliers accessing numerous “Dx Packet Clusters” both the U.S. and Europe, using the gate (“Gateway”) in the K1XX NH – U.S. coupled to so well known program “DXTELNET.”

 

Arriving on the island:
Jim, Peter and N5FA, PY5CC were the first to arrive on the island on 20 October before Nicholas, a close friend of PY5EG, which has the most experience on the team in maintenance of towers and antennas. Although not amateur, Nicholas knows well what to do in the field of towers being well trained in handling and maneuvering Yagi antennas monobandas with “booms” of more than 15 meters long. He and Peter have made the job look easy – but we knew that was not easy.
While Peter and Nicholas worked optimizing Yagis, Jim, N5FA, was established in the wires and cables stretch down the mountain to the beach through the vast thicket to install multiple antennas for reception of beverages lower bands.
On Oct. 26, members of our team from the United States and Bulgaria reached K1ZM, K1CC, K2DM and K1LZ .. Fortunately, our “expert” in networks and telecommunications, David, who unfortunately is not amateur, but more precisely works in this area Inepar also arrived that day to help with the CT program and preparations to be made in the network. We learn early on that guy and David it was a “magical computer” and that without it we would not be able to make the network work for long. It seemed he was everywhere before and during the competition, assuring us that all computers were functioning and interconnected all the time. Due to a schedule really congested in their business, PY5EG Oms, PY5ZBU PY5GU Don and Gus, arrived on the island in the evening of this day, Wednesday.
The group was now divided into several teams:
Installation Team of SeasonsTeam of beverages for lower bandsTeam of computer networkTeam of antennas at higher frequenciesTeam booster power A / CTeam minimizing interference between stations.

 

The activities continued for 24 hours a day for 3 days following the class until finally be ready to start the contest. Just a few short intervals were made to a small bed and some quick meals in the elegant and pleasant restaurant André – the best and tastiest of the island.
0001Z – October 30 – The race BEGUN!
With few exceptions, a part of the group responsible for the operation and most operators were operating ALL the various bands at one time or another. Oms specializes in banda 40m. SSB operated for the first night in that difficult and tumultuous banda doing about 1000 QSOs, but also other players in the team operated on 7 MHz on the second day. Everyone had the chance to try alternatives to operate at high speed QSOs using a rare indication of a rare country – including our young developing players on the team. This means much a competition – the difficult task of bringing new blood into our “hobby” and then teach them how to operate successfully in the most important competition for amateurs. We feel we’ve done a great job in this part (in this regard) operation.
With the ongoing dispute, the peaks of the contacts were speed above 250 per hour in each band and high-band integrated in all the speedometer has reached the point “CT” peaks near 1000 several times during the top openings Europe and the United States .. This was mainly on Saturday mornings.
At the end of the first 24 hours and made 11,000 QSOs felt we could achieve the target of 20,000 QSOs and the goal we set at the beginning of the competition. But we were totally wrong. Throughout the afternoon of the second day and night parts of the spread had closed (as a cloud) on which we have seen in rates of speed drop to a very low mark. On the second day we did only 56% of QSOs compared to the same period the previous day!!
When all was finished, the Group was pleased in general with a solid score and principled than 50 million points – the highest score ever made in faraway South America Meanwhile some felt disappointed in not “win”; each member team recognized that the geographical distances involved and PY0F United States and Europe would benefit teams like IG9A, and CN8WW PJ4B. Considering our distance from Europe especially, were very pleased by the result.
Our Claimed SCORE analytically is as follows:

Conclusions / Consequences:
On Monday, the group began to disperse early and Group photo was taken along with ACOM amplifiers in front, and, with Pico in the background. The peak is a rock solid and extravagant than 300 feet tall, the west of our station heading to the U.S. west coast.
K1ZM, David, N5FA, PY2KC, LZ1JK, PY5EG, K1LZ, PY5CC, Nicholas PY5GU, PY0FF, LZ1JY, K2DM, and K1CC PY5ZBU.
K1ZM, K2DM, K1LZ, K1CC, LZ1JK LZ1JY and remained on the island long enough to make a stroll on Tuesday after all antennas of the lower bands having been dismantled. The Group enjoyed a swim with dolphins and made a boat trip on the north side of the island during the afternoon.
Like all good things, this operation had its end, and the last members of the team said goodbye to André on the evening of Wednesday, 03 November. This gave Andrew PY0FF, a bit of “necessary” peace in its fascinating island and the chance to put their accommodation (beds) back to some semblance of normal order that preceded these two weeks!
Where Do We Go From Here?
Well, hard to say exactly. But the team felt the brotherhood between the group and we are considering another operation in the near future – possibly to CQWPX SSB in March 2000. We should organize an operation Multi-Single or Multi-Multi; ZX5J from Santa Catarina or QTH of Oms ZW5B Curitiba, or yet another operation ZX0F.
We thank all those who have worked during the contest or during installation of the station. It was our pleasure to operate ZX0F and hope to see you at the next operation. The operation ZX0F QSL cards should be sent via PY5EG.
Thanks also to our best, ACOM, DXTELNET, CT (K1EA Software), WX0B (ARRAY SOLUTIONS), and especially for K1XX for its extraordinary support in your link in the packet cluster.
What we will always remember – our best results of the contest:
1) The family formed in the contest (Bulgaria + U.S. + Brazil + Ingraterra) fantastico!.
2) Solutions effective in eliminating interference between stations (Thanks LZ1JY + + K1ZM K1LZ)
3) Computer Networking (Thanks to David Krassy + + + K1TTT K1XX)
4) Receipt of beverages in lower bands (Thanks to N5FA K1ZM +)
5) Pass (pass) of multipliers (Thanks to N5FA)
6) How to build / antennas based on a small area efficiently (Thanks to Nicholas and PY5CC)
7) How to keep the equipment running and running (Thanks to LZ1JK PY5ZBU +)
8) How to have a fully automated exchange of bands at stations with 2 Kw (Thanks to ACOM)
9) Hospitality (Thanks to Andrew & Morena)
Thanks also to God for this gift!!
73 and hope to see you next,

A História de ZX0F – CQWW SSB 1999

Por Atilano de Oms Sobrinho – PY5EG
Planejamento Inicial – O Palco está montado.

Uma grande operação Multi-transmissores/multi-operadores na Competição CQWW 1999 SSB sob o indicativo especial de ZX0F da ilha Brasileira de Fernando de Noronha acaba de ser completada.

Liderados por Atilano de Oms, PY5EG, e sob o patrocínio do Grupo Araucária de Dx, do Paraná, Brasil, e também com o magno apoio do time de radioamadores Búlgaros, um grupo Internacional de 12 radioamadores especialistas em Contestes do Brasil, Estados Unidos, Bulgária e da Inglaterra chegaram a ilha na Segunda quinzena do mês de Outubro com o objetivo de participarem do conteste que começaria dia 29 e terminaria em 31 de Outubro de 1999.

Os membros deste time incluíam:

Brasil:

PY5EG – Oms – Líder do Grupo
PY5CC – Peter
PY5GU – Gus (Augusto – Gugu)
PY2KC – Rodrigo

Bulgaria:

LZ1JK – Vasko
LZ1JY – Nick

Estados Unidos:

K1CC – Rich
K1LZ – Krassy
K1ZM – Jeff
K2DM – George
N5FA – Jim

Inglaterra:

PY5ZBU – Don

Time de Suporte:

David – Telecomunicações e Rede
Nicolau – Guardião e mantenedor do parque de antenas
André (PY0FF) – Nosso anfitrião e provedor de facilidades

Algumas poucas palavras são necessárias sobre nosso anfitrião para esta operação, André Sampaio, PY0FF. A hospedagem oferecida por André quartos com ótimas camas além de um maravilhoso café da manhã, num local chamado e conhecido por todos como “Pousada da Morena” em Fernando de Noronha, deixou o grupo em condições totais de confortabilidade para que se tivesse repouso e alimentação durante toda a operação. Quando não operou, ou esteve trabalhando especificamente junto ao time, nunca deixou o local desguarnecido de sua amizade e total suporte a todos.

A idéia desta operação foi originada e concebida na Convenção Internacional “Hamvention” em Dayton – Estados Unidos, em maio de 1999 quando Krassy (K1LZ) e Oms (PY5EG) se encontraram, combinaram e concordaram em fazer um esforço sério e fora do comum para a realização do CQWW SSB usando 6 lineares totalmente automáticos ACOM 2000 para esta operação. Krassy queria a chance para testar a performance de sua nova linha de Amplificadores e Oms quis ver como e quão competitiva seria uma operação multi-multi internacional desde a ilha de Fernando de Noronha.

Em sua experiência passada, o Grupo Araucária de Dx já acumulou inúmeros recordes tanto nas competições (contest) do WPX quanto no CQWW em diversas categorias distintas, como “Single Band”, “Single-Op. Allband” e “Multi-Single” das estações existentes do grupo. Uma delas normalmente operada com o indicativo especial de “ZW5B” do QTH de PY5EG; a outra e mais nova estação do grupo é operada com o indicativo especial “ZX5J” da Serra da Boa Vista, próxima a Florianópolis/S.C. Na ilha de Fernando de Noronha, o Grupo Araucária de Dx, também instalou uma competitiva estação para competições, normalmente utilizando o indicativo especial de “ZX0F”. Na ilha, o terreno e o espaço é um tanto quanto pequeno e não há espaço suficiente para uma operação forte para Multi-Multi. Trata-se muito mais uma estação para as categorias Multi-Single, Single-Op all band. ou Single-Band.single Op.

Mesmo considerando estas limitações, o grupo decidiu operar o CQWW 1999 SSB, na categoria Multi-Multi com o objetivo principal de aprender algumas das mais importantes técnicas de operação nesta categoria e ainda ampliar e engrandecer o conhecimento para um grande projeto futuro. A idéia é de se construir uma estação específica dedicada para operações Multi-Multi.

De maio a outubro, preparações intensivas foram levadas a efeito, onde o grupo utilizou os recursos da Internet, como o E-Mail e o próprio radio para acertar, preparar, combinar e finalizar os preparativos. O plano logístico se constituiu de uma enorme tarefa incluindo inúmeros carregamentos e remessas de material para a Ilha. Isto incluiu os amplificadores ACOM, milhares de metros de cabo coaxial, fios e cabos para as antenas, e as garrafas de gás Hélio para suportar e sustentar as várias antenas de baixa freqüência. Os “experts” de software também trabalharam arduamente para adaptar o programa “CT” ao programa “DXTELNET” e rodá-los de uma forma segura na rede de comunicações a serem utilizadas na competição.

O projeto previa a utilização de antenas Yagi monobanda em “stack” (empilhadas) para as bandas de 10m., 15m., e 20m., duas antenas Yagi monobanda para a banda 40m. e antenas de fio e verticais para as bandas baixas de 80m. e 160m. Antenas “Beverage” faseadas foram construídas para melhorar e otimizar a recepção em 80m. e 160m.

Um dos maiores desafios era resolver e solucionar o problema de interferências entre as estações devido ao confinamento das antenas num pequeno pedaço de terreno. Nick, LZ1JY, e Krassy, K1LZ, realizaram o trabalho com extrema eficiência. Foi surpreendente como eles reduziram o nível de interferência num espaço mínimo e tão pequeno.

Adicionalmente, o grupo otimizaria a busca de multiplicadores acessando inúmeros “Dx Packet Clusters” tanto dos Estados Unidos como da Europa, utilizando o portão (“gateway”) do K1XX em NH – E.U.A. acoplado ao tão bem conhecido programa “DXTELNET”.

Chegada na Ilha:

O Jim, N5FA e o Peter, PY5CC foram os primeiros a chegarem na ilha no dia 20 de outubro de antes do Nicolau, amigo íntimo do PY5EG, o qual tem a maior experiência no time em manutenção de torres e antenas. Apesar de não ser radioamador, Nicolau sabe muito bem o que fazer no terreno de torres sendo muito bem treinado em manobrar e manusear antenas Yagi monobandas com “booms” de mais de 15 metros de comprimento. Ele e o Peter fizeram o trabalho parecer fácil – embora soubéssemos que não era nada fácil.

Enquanto Peter e Nicolau trabalhavam otimizando as Yagis, Jim, N5FA, se estabelecia em esticar os fios e cabos montanha abaixo até a praia através do imenso matagal para a instalação de várias antenas beverages para recepção das bandas baixas.

No dia 26 de outubro, membros da nossa equipe dos Estados Unidos e da Bulgaria chegaram K1ZM, K1CC, K2DM, e K1LZ.. Afortunadamente, nosso “expert” em redes e telecomunicações, David, que infelizmente ainda não é radioamador, porém mais precisamente trabalha nesta área na Inepar, também chegou neste dia para ajudar com o programa CT e as preparações a serem feitas na rede. Aprendemos de cara e logo cedo que o David se tratava de um “mágico em informática” e que sem ele nós não teríamos condições fazer a rede trabalhar por muito tempo. Parecia que ele estava em todos os lugares antes e durante a competição, nos assegurando que todos os computadores estavam funcionando e interligados entre si o tempo todo. Devido a uma agenda deveras congestionada em seus negócios, PY5EG Oms, PY5ZBU Don e PY5GU Gus, chegaram na ilha ao anoitecer deste dia, Quarta-feira.

O grupo agora estava dividido em várias equipes:

Equipe de Instalação das Estações
Equipe das beverages para bandas baixas
Equipe de rede de computadores
Equipe das antenas de freqüências mais altas
Equipe de reforço de energia A/C
Equipe de minimização de interferência entre as estações.

As atividades continuaram pelas 24 horas do dia pelos 3 dias seguintes até finalmente a turma estar pronta para começar o conteste. Apenas alguns pequenos intervalos foram feitos para uma pequena dormida e algumas rápidas refeições no requintado e agradável restaurante do André – o melhor e mais saboroso da ilha.

0001Z – 30 de outubro – A corrida COMEÇOU!

Com poucas exceções, uma parte do grupo responsável pela operação e a maioria dos operadores foram operar TODAS as diversas bandas em um momento ou outro. Oms especialista na banda de 40m. SSB operou pela primeira noite naquela difícil e tumultuada banda fazendo aproximadamente 1000 QSOs, porém outros operadores do time também operaram em 7 MHz no segundo dia. Todos tiveram a chance de experimentar as alternativas em operar a altas velocidade de QSOs utilizando um indicativo raro de um país raro – incluindo nossos jovens operadores em desenvolvimento no time. Isto significa muito numa competição – a difícil tarefa de trazer sangue novo para dentro do nosso “hobby” e então ensiná-los como operar com sucesso na competição mais importante para radioamadores. Sentimos que fizemos um ótimo trabalho nesta parte (neste quesito) da operação.

Com o conteste em andamento, os picos dos contatos eram de velocidade acima de 250 por hora em cada uma das bandas altas e o integrado em todas as bandas chegou a apontar no velocímetro do “CT” picos próximos a 1000 várias vezes durante as melhores aberturas para a Europa e Estados Unidos ..Isto ocorreu principalmente, no sábado pela manhã.

Ao final das primeiras 24 horas fizemos 11.000 QSOs e sentimos que poderíamos alcançar o alvo e o objetivo de 20.000 QSOs que estabelecemos no início da competição. Mas, estávamos totalmente errados. Durante toda a tarde do segundo dia e partes da noite tivemos a propagação fechada (como uma nuvem) sobre nós no qual vimos as taxas de velocidade caírem a uma marca muito baixa. No segundo dia fizemos apenas 56% dos QSOs comparados ao mesmo período do dia anterior!!!

Quando tudo havia terminado, o Grupo estava satisfeito de uma forma geral com um escore sólido e íntegro de 50 milhões de pontos – o maior escore jamais realizado da longínqua América do Sul. Enquanto isto alguns se sentiam desapontados em não “Vencer”; cada membro do time reconheceu que as distâncias geográficas envolvendo PY0F e Estados Unidos e Europa beneficiaria times como IG9A, CN8WW e PJ4B. Considerando nossa distância da Europa especialmente, ficamos muito satisfeitos pelo resultado alcançado.

Nosso CLAIMED SCORE analiticamente é o que segue:

Conclusões/Conseqüências:

Na Segunda-feira, o bando começou a se dispersar bem cedo e a foto do Grupo foi tirada junto com os amplificadores ACOM em frente, e, com o Pico de fundo. O pico é uma rocha sólida e extravagante de 300 metros de altura, na direção oeste de nossa estação rumando aos Estados Unidos, costa oeste.

K1ZM, David, N5FA, PY2KC, LZ1JK, PY5EG, K1LZ, PY5CC, Nicolau, PY5GU, PY0FF, LZ1JY, K2DM, K1CC e PY5ZBU.

K1ZM, K2DM, K1LZ, K1CC, LZ1JK e LZ1JY permaneceram na ilha o tempo suficiente para fazerem um passeio na Terça-feira após todas as antenas das bandas baixas haverem sido desmontadas. O Grupo desfrutou de um mergulho com golfinhos e fez um passeio de barco no lado Norte da ilha durante a parte da tarde.

Como todas as coisas boas, esta operação teve seu final, e os últimos membros do time disseram adeus ao André na noite de quarta-feira , dia 03 de novembro. Isto deu ao André, PY0FF, um pouco da “necessária” paz em sua fascinante ilha e a chance de colocar suas acomodações (camas) de volta com alguma semelhança a ordem normal que precedeu essas duas semanas !

Para Onde Iremos Daqui?

Bem, difícil dizer com exatidão. Mas, o time sentiu a fraternidade entre o grupo e estamos considerando outro operação num futuro próximo – possivelmente para CQWPX SSB em março de 2000. Devemos organizar uma operação Multi-Single ou Multi-Multi; desde ZX5J de Santa Catarina ou no QTH de Oms ZW5B de Curitiba, ou ainda uma outra operação de ZX0F.

Agradecemos a todos aqueles que nos trabalharam durante o contest ou durante a instalação da estação. Foi nosso prazer operar de ZX0F e esperamos vê-los na próxima operação. Os cartões QSLs da operação ZX0F devem ser enviados via PY5EG.

Nossos melhores agradecimentos também para, ACOM, DXTELNET, CT(K1EA Software), WX0B (ARRAY SOLUTIONS), e especialmente para K1XX pelo seu extraordinário suporte em seu link no packet cluster.

O que lembraremos sempre – nossos melhores resultados do conteste:

1) A família formada no conteste (Bulgaria+Estados Unidos+Brasil+Ingraterra) fantastico!.

2) Soluções efetivas na eliminação de interferência entre estações (Obrigado LZ1JY+K1ZM+K1LZ)

3) Rede de Computadores (Obrigado ao David + Krassy + K1TTT + K1XX)

4) Recepção das beverages em bandas baixas (Obrigado ao N5FA + K1ZM)

5) Passagem (repasse) dos multiplicadores (Obrigado ao N5FA )

6) Como construir/assentar antenas em uma pequena área eficientemente (Obrigado ao PY5CC e ao Nicolau)

7) Como manter os equipamentos em operação e funcionando (Obrigado ao LZ1JK+PY5ZBU)

8) Como ter totalmente automatizadas a troca de bandas nas estações com 2 Kw (Obrigado a ACOM)

9) Hospitalidade (Obrigado ao André & Morena)

Obrigado também a DEUS por esta dádiva!!!!

73 e espero vê-los no próximo,

Oms – PY5EG

Worked All Europe DX Contest – Rules 2012 – WAE CW

Worked All Europe DX Contest – Rules 2012

(2012-06-26)

The Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC) invites radio amateurs world wide to participate in the annual WAE DX Contest.

1 Times

CW: August, second full weekend
Saturday, August 11, 2012, 0000 UTC until Sunday, August 12, 2012, 2359 UTC

SSB: September, second full weekend
Saturday, September 8, 2012, 0000 UTC until Sunday, September 9, 2012, 2359 UTC

RTTY: November, second full weekend
Saturday, November 10, 2012, 0000 UTC until Sunday, November 11, 2012, 2359 UTC

2 Bands

3.5 – 7 – 14 – 21 – 28 MHz.

According to IARU recommendations operation should be avoided outside contest-preferred segments. No operation to take place on:

CW : 3560-3800; 7040-7200; 14060-14350 kHz
SSB: 3650-3700; 7050-7060; 7100-7130; 14100-14125; 14300-14350 kHz
.

3 Categories

  • SINGLE-OP LOW
    Max. output 100 watts – all bands. Only one signal permitted at any time.
  • SINGLE-OP HIGH
    Output higher than 100 watts – all bands. Only one signal permitted at any time.
  • MULTI-OP
    Band changes are allowed every 10 minutes; this includes all activities of a main station, including QSO & QTC traffic and CQing.
    Only exception: Working of a multiplier. Other transmitters may be used in parallel to the main station to work multipliers on other bands.
  • SWL
    (see §12)

Notes:

  • Transmitters, receivers and antennas used in the contest must be located within a 2 km diameter circle.
  • The use of DX spotting nets is allowed in all categories.

4 Off Times

Single Operator stations may only operate 36 out of the 48-hour contest period.

The total of 12 hours off time may be taken in one part but not more than three parts. The off times must be shown on the summary sheet. If operation is interrupted for more than 12 hours the three longest off time periods must be a minimum of 12 hours.

5 Exchange

A contest QSO can only be conducted between a European and a non-European station (exception: RTTY, see §13). The exchange consists of RS/RST and a progressive serial number starting with 001. If the station worked does not send a serial number, log the contact with number 000. Each station can be credited only once per band.

6 Multiplier

For non-European stations the multiplier is the number of countries defined in the WAE Country List (see below) worked per band.

For European stations every non-European DXCC entity counts as a multiplier.
Exception: In the following countries up to ten numerical call areas count as multipliers:
W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS, JA, PY and RA8/RA9 and RAØ — without respect to their geographical location.

Examples: W1, K1, KA1 and K3../1 count as W1;
VE1, VO1 und VY1 count as VE1;
JR4, 7M4 und 7K4 count as JA4;
ZL2 and ZL6 are two different multipliers.

Multiplier bonus: Country multiplier points are “weighted” by band. Multiply the number of countries worked on 3.5 MHz by four, on 7 MHz by three, and on 14/21/28 MHz by two. The total multiplier is the sum of the weighted multiplier points of all bands.

7 QTC Traffic

Additional points can be achieved by QTCs. A QTC is the report of a contest QSO back to a European station (exception: RTTY, see §13).

The following rules apply:

  1. A QTC contains time, call sign and serial number of the reported QSO. Example: “1307 DA1AA 431″ means that DA1AA was worked at 1307 UTC and sent serial number 431.
  2. Each QSO may only be reported once as a QTC. The QTC may not be reported back to the original station.
  3. Every QTC that was correctly transferred, counts one point for the sender and one point for the receiver.
  4. Two stations may exchange up to 10 QTCs maximum. The two stations may establish contact several times to complete the quota.
  5. QTCs are transferred by means of QTC series. A QTC series is a block of one (minimum) to ten (maximum) QTCs. QTC series are numbered using the following scheme: The first figure is the progressive serial number starting with one; the second figure denotes the number of QTCs in the series. Example: “QTC 3/7″ means this is the third QTC series transmitted by this station and it contains seven QTCs.
  6. For every QTC series that is transmitted or received, the QTC number, time and frequency band of the QTC transmission must be logged. If any of this data is missing from your log, no credit will be given for this QTC series.

8 Scoring

The final score is the result of total QSOs plus QTCs on all bands multiplied by the sum of all multipliers weighted by the band bonus factor (see §6).

9 Disqualification

Violation of the rules of the contest or unsportsmanlike conduct will be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification. The decisions of the contest-committee are final.

10 Submissions

URL: http://www.waedc.de

Messages to contest manager (no logs): waedc-info@dxhf.darc.de

Logs need to be sent in STF or Cabrillo-Format to the following e-mail address:

       WAEDC CW   : waecw@dxhf.darc.de
       WAEDC SSB  : waessb@dxhf.darc.de
       WAEDC RTTY : waertty@dxhf.darc.de

Be sure to put the station call sign into the subject of each message.

By submitting an electronic log, the participant claims to fully accept the rules of the contest. A written declaration is not necessary.
Note: After publication of the results all logs will be put into the DARC Contest Logbook (DCL).

Hand-written logs:

After the contest use a proper logging program or LM from DL8WAA to enter your data.

See Link: http://contestsoftware.com/e/home.htm

If you do not have a computer, please ask a friend or family member to import the log.

11 DX & Contest Club Competition

The club score is calculated by adding the final results of all participating club members in all three WAE contests, excluding SWLs. To be counted, the name of the club has to be indicated in the log on a separate header line using the keyword “CLUB“.

The club must not be an official national amateur radio club. For a club to be listed, a minimum of three logs must be submitted.

A trophy is sponsored for the top DX (non-EU) and the top EU clubs.

For DL stations participating in the German DARC/VFDB-Clubmeisterschaft put your DOK in the log on a separate header line using the keyword “SPECIFIC“.

12 Special Rules for SWLs

SWLs record stations working in the WAEDC. Participation is only possible as a single operator all bands. Every call sign heard – European or non-European station – may be credited only once per band. Both call signs of a contest QSO have to be recorded.

Each station that is logged including the serial number that was sent by that station, counts one point. Every complete QTC which includes all QTC series information (up to a maximum of 10 per station) also counts one point.

Multipliers are counted according to the criteria indicated in §6, but both European and non-European multipliers are counted. A call sign can only be counted as a multiplier, if the serial number it sent was recorded. In the best case, for a completely recorded QSO, two points and two multipliers can be credited.

13 Special Rules for RTTY

In the RTTY portion of the WAEDC there are no continental limits; everybody can work everybody. Only QTC traffic must be performed between different continents.

Every station may send and receive QTCs. The sum of QTCs exchanged between two stations (sent plus received) must not exceed 10 (ten).

The European and non-European multipliers indicated in §6 count for all stations.

14 Log Deadline

Log deadline is always two weeks or, more specific, the third Monday after the end of the contest.

CW: August 27; SSB: September 24; RTTY: November 26, 2012.

15 Criteria for WAEDC Awards and Plaques

Continental winners will receive a plaque. Printable online certificates will be availabe for all stations on result publication.

Entries from countries split by numerical call areas for multiplier reasons (see §6) will be listed according to their reported location within their respective geographical call area.

Stations who activate a WAE country for the WAEDC from where no log was received over the last three years will be recognized as “WAEDC Hero” and receive a special prize. For 2012 these 9 countries are:
New! 1AØ, HV, JW, JW/b, JX, R1F, SV/A, YU8, ZB

Stations who have been in the Top-Ten/Top-Six list for at least five times can apply for a special plaque.

The WAEDC committee reserves the right to honor special contest activities with additional plaques.

CVA DX CONTESTE
Contest Rules – FAQs
The goal of this report is to answer some of the most common questions about the rules of the
Competition Green and Yellow and how some of the rules are interpreted by the Organization of the CVA.
Please send your inquiries to the organization in our mailbox. The explanations here apply only to the CVA
DX CONTEST SSB and CW.
Can I use the DX-CLUSTER?
Yes. However, the self-spot is forbidden.
Who is eligible for the Rookie category?
The Rookie category is only for operators who have an amateur radio license for less than 3 years. If you
have had an amateur radio license before the time, you are not eligible for the Rookie category. The time
limit is applied to the operator and not the station.
Our registration software led us to make duplicate contacts. Is this a problem?
No, just a QSO will be validated.
The station sends me “serial numbers”. What should I log in register?
The exchange are only accepted under the Regulation.
I would like to work in various bands, but only provide a single band. Is this allowed? How should I
submit my log?
Yes, you can work with other bands corresponding to your license and also submit your registration as a
single band. First, make sure your log includes all QSOs made on all bands. This helps us with the log scan.
Secondly, make sure the Cabrillo file header has a whole category for the one band you want to insert. (eg BAND
CATEGORY: 20M) only in a single band QSOs is used to compute the score. Please enter only one containing all log
QSOs! Each log that you send will replace the previously submitted log.
It is permitted to be looking for multipliers on other bands for requesting a QSY to other bands or sked?
No.
What are the penalties for punctuation errors detected during the scan log?
Indicative incorrect – QSO loss.
Exchanges incorrect – (exchange record do not match the exchange sent by another station, and only
use may be provided in exchange CVA) – loss of the QSO.
Duplicate QSO – just a QSO will be validated.
Error log change in the band – the loss of all QSOs in the band spelled incorrectly.
Time tolerance in the log – the difference is tolerated 3 (three) minutes between QSOs, after this his
program is designed to eliminate the QSO over three minutes.
Should I submit the record to Cabrillo 2.0 or 3.0?
The Cabrillo log format standard is 3.0.
I did log on paper. What is the best way to present my log?
The organization of the CVA will not accept paper records.
