IARU Region-1 160m Contest 1997
This contest is sponsored by IARU Reg. 1 and the 1997
edition is processed by ARI (Italy).
Purpose
This is a worldwide competition: everyone may work
everyone else, including stations in his own country. The
contest may be entered by all licenced radioamateurs and SWLs.
Date and time
The contest will be held on the third full weekend of November
from 14:00 UTC Saturday until 08:00 UTC Sunday. In 1997 it will
be on November 15/16.
Mode
CW only.
Entry Categories:
SO = Single operator
MOST = Multi operator single tx
SWL = SWL, single operator
Note: single operators may operate up to 14 hours. Rest periods
must be marked clearly in the log and must be at least 1 hour
long. Multi operators may have only 1 signal on the air at any
given time. Everyone is permitted to use PacketCluster and such
use does not change a single operator into a multi operator.
Frequencies
160m only, 1810-1950 kHz. Participants MUST carefully observe
the IARU Band Plan as well as their national regulations and
limits for 160m.
Exchange
Send RST and a two or three letter/digit DISTRICT CODE (i. e. DOK
for DL, Dept. for F, County for G, State for USA, Province for I
and VE, Territory for VK, and so on).
QSO/Points
One (1) point for each complete QSO.
Multipliers
One (1) multiplier for each different DISTRICT CODE,
One (1) multiplier for each DXCC/WAE country.
Final Score
The sum of QSO Points times the sum of multipliers.
Logs and summary sheet
Logs should be A4-size and must show all the QSO data. A
summary sheet (including a signed declaration) is required as
well as a dupe sheet (only if more than 100 QSOs are logged).
Logs on disk are appreciated (K1EA or ASCII formats). Logs must
be postmarked not later than 31st December, 1997 and sent to:

Penalties
Logs will be carefully checked by the Contest Committee and

SWL
Listeners are required to log the callsigns of both the station
heard and the correspondent station. Score is calculated based
only upon the station heard using the same rules as trasmitting
stations. A callsign may not appear more than 3 (three)
times as a correspondent. SWLs MUST log no more than 1 (one)
QSO on each line of their log.

for the first station in the MOST and SWL categories;
