[CCF] Q on SAC rules "ENN ###"

[Kim Östman]

Hi,

I've added a brief "Frequently Asked Questions" part after
the official rules at http://www.sactest.net, covering this
and another question that was received. I'm copying the
text also here below and hoping that it clarifies the matter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do special prefixes such as OZ700 or OH25 count as their own multipliers
for non-Scandinavians?

A: No. The example prefixes count as OZ7 and OH2.


Q: How is a log penalized in the logchecking process?

A: You lose all points (and the multiplier, if applicable) from a specific
QSO by miscopying the other station's callsign ("Busted"), RST, or serial
number ("Exchange error"), or by not being in the log of the other station
("Not in log"). However, any multiplier lost in this manner is compensated
if there is a later correct QSO that gives the same multiplier. You do not
lose points for a copying mistake (call/RST/nr) made by the other station.

Subject: [CCF] Q on SAC rules "ENN ###"

Hello all

   I have been wondering about the strategy concerning my SAC operating.

   Namely, one thing always to consider is your TX speed, and how to abb-
   reviate the numbers, to make communication faster.

   Now, if you do it OH8PF-style (a concept from the 1980s, early 1990s),
   the speed is very fast, extremely fast. This assures high rates.
   This strategy is very good, if you are not sanctioned for errors in
   the other log.

   Now, I expected the rules to say something about the accuracy checking
   and about the way (math) score is reduced by incomplete QSOs. They don't
   seem to. I know that there is SM2EZT's software to check the Qs, but what
   are the (implicit, explicit) logics in it? I.e. the rules on valid QSOs?

   We also have the PU! accuracy trophies. They will be based on relative
(%)
   score reduction. How are Qsos, points and multipliers lost in SM2EZTs
   software?

   Or am I just, as usual, missing a point/web-page somewhere?

   BR ilkka, OH1WZ
