***** EU SPRINT 1997 *****
The EU Sprint Gang hereby invites you to participate in the two
European Sprint Contests held in Autumn 1997
Entrants: any licensed station may enter the Sprint. European
stations can work everybody, stations outside of Europe can work
only European stations.
Categories: Single Operator ONLY. Only ONE signal may be aired at
one time.
Dates:
EU SPRINT Autumn:
SSB: first Saturday in October - 4 October 1997 - managed by
I2UIY
CW: second Saturday in October - 11 October 1997 - managed by
OK2FD
Time: from 15:00 UTC until 18:59 UTC.
Bands: 20, 40 and 80 meters only. Pilot frequencies are: SSB:
14.250, 7.050, 3.730. CW: 14.040, 7.025, 3.550
Exchange: all of the following data MUST BE PART OF THE EXCHANGE:
a) your callsign,
b) the other station's callsign,
c) your serial number starting from 001 (RST not required),
d) your name or nickname.
Please note that BOTH callsigns MUST be repeated by BOTH
stations.
A valid exchange is: "OK2FD de I2UIY 118 Paolo" while "OK2FD 118
Paolo" is NOT a valid exchange.
Special QSY Rule: if any station initiates a call (by sending CQ,
QRZ?, etc.), he is permitted to work ONLY one station on the same
frequency. He must thereafter move AT LEAST 2 (two) kHz before he
may call another station or before he may solicit again (CQ,
QRZ?, etc.) other calls.
Valid contacts: valid contacts are QSOs correctly logged and
confirmed. Each operator may use ONE and ONLY one name during the
Sprint. If the exchange is copied incorrectly, that operator will
receive zero (0) points. In case of miscopied callsigns, both
stations will receive zero (0) points for that QSO.
Scoring: each valid QSO counts one 1 (one) point. The final score
is the total number of QSOs.
Awards: there are NO awards or prizes since these contests have
been created to test the individual skills only. Results will be
forwarded as soon as possible to Leagues, magazines and
bulletins.
Logs: a single chronological log is required. PLEASE SEND US YOUR
LOG ON A FLOPPY DISK. Use any of the available software or send a
plain ASCII file. A separate summary sheet is required too.
