[OZ-CONTEST] WRTC awards and prizes

[Mats Strandberg]

World Radiosport Team Championship 2010

Awards and Prizes for HAM Radio Community



Dear friends,



To encourage the HAM radio community worldwide to make contacts with
WRTC-2010 participants during the IARU HF Championship contest the
weekend of July 10-11, 2010, we would like to announce our special
awards and prizes program.

WRTC-2010 awards, special plaques, T-shirts and trophies will be
issued based upon the following rules:


1. QSO points

- All WRTC stations will use distinctive callsigns from the block R30A
- R39Z.  The same WRTC-2010 station may be worked once on CW and once
on SSB on each band (80, 40, 20, 15 and 10m).  The WRTC stations will
not operate on 160m.

- Each confirmed two-way CW or SSB QSO with a WRTC-2010 station counts 1 point.


2. The logs

The WRTC Committee needs as many IARU contest logs as possible to
create the QSO data base it will use to cross check the WRTC
competitors' logs.  We ask all stations working the IARU contest to
please send copies of their electronic, Cabrillo formatted logs to
logs at wrtc2010.ru or upload them to http://www.wrtc2010.ru/upload no
later than 18:00 UTC on Sunday, July 11, 2010 (Note: this is only six
hours after the end of the contest).  The subject field should contain
your contest callsign, e.g., "Subject: RA5AA".

The Committee guarantees that these logs will be used only to
determine winners of the WRTC awards and prizes, and for cross
checking the WRTC-2010 teams' logs.  Please understand that sending us
a copy of your log does NOT constitute a log submission for the IARU
HF Championship; for that, you should also e-mail your log to
IARUHF at iaru.org.
