Friends,

Me and other organizers invite you to participate in ES OPEN HF CHAMPIONSHIP
2004 on April 17th from 5:00 UTC to 9:00 UTC. Contest is held on 40 and 80
meters in SSB and CW simultaneously.

It is of course mainly for EU contesters but DX stations can also contact ES
stations on 40m at least. Winners of international sections receive very
nice trophies from ERAU. Winners in each country also receive nice
certificates so how about being the first in US with 5-10 QSOs??:))

There are many ES stations active and number of foreign participants is
growing every year. From this year there is a special trophy for the best LP
station sponsored by Lithuanian Radio Sport Federation.

We will guarantee you that the results will be available very quickly, not
later than 2-3 months after log submittion deadline. Do you like those
contests where it takes a year to get results? I don't! Every participant
will also get a detailed UBN report.

You can find RESULTS and RULES at ERAU web page (www.erau.ee):

ES OPEN is a unique contest as it consists of 4 periods. One hour each. You
can work a certain station 8 times in the contest - once on both bands in a
period (either CW or SSB QSO on band, not both!)

Multipliers are ES region prefixes (ES1...ES0) on both band and mode. So 20
for CW and SSB and 40 for MIXED class.
CW QSOs give 2 points and SSB QSOs 1 point. Report is RST + QSO number.
Foreign stations can work only ES stations.

Logs should be sent to esopen at erau.ee. Any text format is OK.

You can use WPX configuration of different logging programs for logging as
ES prefixes are all multipliers. After every hour you should clean dupe
sheet for working stations again. There is an example of TR LOG
configuration file on ERAU web page.

We hope to meet you on Saturday, April 17th!
