Common rules: All entries separated by World and Ukraine.
There is no limitation for band and mode change. Only one signal can be transmitted at any given time. The use of DX-cluster is permitted for all categories however self-spotting is strictly prohibited.
You can make up to 2 QSO with the same station on the same band – CW and SSB. CW QSOs must be made in the CW portion of the band.
Duplicate contacts with same station on the same mode and band counts 0 points. No penalty for duplicate QSO. Please do not delete dupes.
In the Single Band category you can make QSO on other bands. Single Band entrants who operate other bands during the contest are encouraged to submit full log for more than one band to aid in the log cross-checking process.
They should send one Cabrillo file of full log and thoroughly indicate correct category in the head of the file. All logs will be checked by special software for UBN (unique, bad, not in log) contacts. Unique calls will be removed from the LOG.
QSO is not counted for the following:
– incorrectly logged call (Bad Call);
– incorrectly logged exchange numbers;
QSO is not confirmed in the other station’s log (NIL).
Also QSO is not counted for the following:
– other station incorrectly logged entrant’s call;
– other station incorrectly logged entrant’s exchange number;
– QSO time in entrant’s log and other station’s log difference is more than 3 minutes (except systematic computer errors);
– QSO bands or modes in entrant’s log and other station’s log differ (except systematic errors);
– dupe QSO which is not in the other station’s log.
Since URDXC 2009 Categories A and B are divided on three different: MIXED, SSB, CW for both UKRAINE and WORLD division, and the are no penalties anymore
