[Tonno Vahk]

Hallo dear friends and contesters,

I would like to invite you to participate in ES OPEN HF CHAMPIONSHIPS that will take place on next Saturday, April 20th, 0500 to 0859 UTC. It is an interesting short HF Contest on Saturday morning on 80 and 40 meters and there will be many ES stations in the air! The best places will be awarded with beautiful trophies from ERAU. You can also easily fulfil the requirements for ESTONIA AWARD. We hope very much for active participation also from Western and Southern Europe and even from other continents - You are very welcome!

NEW "COMPUTER FRIENDLY" RULES AND 2001 RESULTS are now available from:

You can also find TR LOG CONFIGURATION FILES FOR ES OPEN from the web site above!!! TR LOG CAN BE EASILY USED FOR LOGGING NOW!!! Other logging programs fit also well with new rules!

Rules are new, more interesting and very easy now:

Contest takes place on 80 and 40m at the same time and in both modes.
There are 4 one hour periods: 0500 - 0559, 0600 - 0659, 0700 - 0759, 0800 - 0859 UTC.
You can work each station two times in one period regardless of mode - once on 40m and once on 80m. Thus 8 times in total during the contest.
Non ES stations can work only ES stations.
Each CW QSO gives 2 points and each SSB QSO gives 1 point.
Multipliers are ES region prefixes on each band and mode - thus maximum 40 for A, D and F classes and 20 for B and C classes.
Report: RST + QSO number
Logs should be sent to esopen at erau.ee

Please check ERAU web site above for complete Rules and results from previous years!

Please forward that info also to other fellow hams in your region who are interested in contesting!

Hope very much to see you all in ES OPEN!
