Gang,
Here are the rules for the upcoming contest:
ARRL 160-Meter Contest
----------------------
OBJECT: This is a CW operating event where you can work anyone-
your next door neighbor, some guy in the next town, any
other US or Canadian station, and all the DX station you
can find.
CLASSES: You have a choice of entering QRP, low power, high
power, or multioperator. The less power output you use,
the more challenging it gets. If you like difficult
challenges, try QRP. The power choice for single ops
is up to you.
TIME: First weekend of December.
Friday 22.00z - Sunday 16.00z
EXCHANGE: USA: Signal report and ARRL section
Canada: Signal report and RAC section
All other: Signal report.
MULTIPLIERS: Multipliers are ARRL/RAC sections plus VE8/VY1
(maximum of 77) and DXCC countries (DX stations can
only work W/VE stations.
SCORE: For your final score, count 2 points for each QSO with
a W/VE station, and 5 points for each DX contact. Add up
all your QSO points and then multiply by the number of
different multipliers.
