[CCF] Invitation to ES OPEN HF

[Janne Karresuo]

Dear friends and contesters,



ES OPEN HF Championship 2011 will take place on Saturday, April 16th, from
0500 to 0859 UTC on 40m and 80m! We invite you to participate in this nice
small contest. There will be many ES stations active and contest is held
both in SSB and CW at the same time.



International winners get special trophies from ERAU plus all country
winners will be awarded. There is also a special LP trophy.



Please check the results and rules from www.erau.ee:

Rules are very easy: the contest consists of 4 equal one hour periods where
you can work a station once on both bands. Thus 8 times maximum in total
during the contest. Foreign stations can work ES stations only and
multipliers are ES region prefixes (0 to 9) on both bands and modes. So 20
for CW/SSB and 40 for Mixed class.



CW QSOs give 2 points and SSB 1 point. Report is RST + QSO number.



Text format logs (cabrillo preferred) should be sent to esopen at erau.ee by
May 20th.



You can use WPX configuration of different logging programs as ES prefixes
are all multipliers. Just have to clean dupe sheet after every hour or start
new log file. In Rules you will also find instructions how to use Win-Test
logging software!





hope to CU on Saturday!
