Comments:
This was our second attempt at the WRTC-style team competition
sponsored by Ward Silver, N0AX that is held within the IARU HF World
Championship. We really enjoyed the contest!
Low power contesting can be great fun and I would strongly recommend
it as a category for next year! Too bad that we have almost a year to
go for the next one, but luckily the IOTA contest is round the corner!
Rules for the WRTC-style competition can be found at
http://www.wwdxc.org/wrtcrule.htm but in summary:
-- You need TWO operators - the team
-- An original name for the team that needs to be emailed to Ward
Silver,
N0AX just before the contest
-- 150 Watts (or less)
-- Mixed mode only
-- Two radios
-- A multi-band directional antenna for the high bands (10/15/20)
whose
height above ground is limited to 25m.
-- A single wire antenna for 160-80-40m (no longer in any dimension
than a
160-meter half-wave dipole and no higher at any point than 25m) e.g.
windom
etc
[No other antenna to be used for receiving but you can share/switch
the antennas with the two radios]
-- Only ONE signal at any one time
