6. Multi operator, single transmitter (MS) - all band, output power

7. SWL
DX cluster support is allowed for all categories. Single operator
can take part in several categories (e. g. SO AB & SO 20m & SO 80m).
For MS: The minimum time to call CQ on a band is 10 minutes. A quick
band change in order to work new multiplier is allowed - it is OK to
work one station and return to the main band.
5. Making QSOs: OK/OL/OM stations contact non OK/OL/OM stations. Non
OK/OL/OM stations contact OK/OL/OM stations. A station may be worked
once per band.
6. Exchange: OK/OL/OM: RST + district abbreviation (e. g. 599 BPZ).
Non OK/OL/OM: RST + progressive QSO number starting with 001.
7. Multipliers: OK/OL/OM: prefixes following WPX rules on each band.
Non OK/OL/OM: districts on each band.
8. QSO points: Foreign (non OK/OL/OM) participants from EU countries
(use CQ WW rules for continent) earn 1 point for QSO with any
OK/OL/OM stations. Foreign participants from DX countries earn 3
points for QSO with any OK/OL/OM stations. OK/OL/OM stations earn 1
point for QSO with EU and 3 points for QSO with DX stations.
9. Score: The final score is the sum of QSO points from all bands
multiplied by the sum of multipliers from all bands.
10. Rules for SWLs (non OK/OL/OM): Each correctly logged QSO (date,
UTC, band, call-sign OK/OL/OM, district, call-sign non OK/OL/OM) per
band counts 1 point (EU SWLs) or 3 points (non EU SWLs). SWL
multipliers: OK/OL/OM districts on each band. Each OK/OL/OM station
may be counted only once per band.
11. Logs:
1. Every competitor who used computer logging is required to submit
a electronic log (computer file). *We strongly recommend you
submit the Cabrillo file*. If Cabrillo is unavailable, then
submit a summary sheet and your log in plain-text ASCII (two
files). Every logging program has the option of producing an
ASCII text log. Examples of the ASCII log file names of the
three most common logging programs are the following: e. g.
OL5Y.CBR (Cabrillo), OL5Y.DAT (N6TR), OL5Y.ALL (CT), OL5Y.PRN
(NA), OL5Y.LOG (SD). Acceptable submissions can also include all
other fixed-column ASCII formats. Any electronic log is always
better then paper log!
2. All logs must contain the following data: date, UTC, band,
call-sign, transmitted exchange, received exchange, multiplier
(only when first time worked), QSO points for each contact. SWLs
log date, UTC, band, call-sign OK/OL/OM, district, call-sign non
OK/OL/OM, multiplier (only when first time heard), QSO points
for each contact.
3. Logs must be sorted in chronological order, regardless of band
of operation. All entries submit a single log of all QSOs.
Exception: handwritten single-band entries submit one log per
band. *In Cabrillo logs all categories are written in one line,
separated by comma (e.g. "CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL HIGH,
SINGLE-OP 10M HIGH") -* more info here.
4. A summary sheet including used callsign, all relevant data
needed to calculate final score, description of equipment, power
output, full name and address in block capitals and signed
statement of compliance must accompany each log. In case the log
is submitted on a disk, a paper summary sheet is necessary. *If
an entrant submits an electronic log, duplicate contacts, QSO
points, and multipliers will be calculated automatically by the
sponsors.*
5. *We strongly recommend submission of logs via e-mail.* Your
e-mail log will automatically be acknowledged by the server and
entrants will be informed about process of log-checking. *Before
sending, please check if your log contain all necessary data
(especially sent and received exchange), be sure to put used
callsign in the "Subject:" line of each message and name the
files by used callsign. *
6. Log Deadline: All log entries must be postmarked by December 1st.
12. Penalties:For QSO errors (broken calls, bad exchanges) and QSOs
which do not appear in correspondents log. One times the QSO points
for such QSOs will be deducted (except errors in exchange). 10% or
more bad contacts or violation of contest rules shall result in
dropping the participant from the classification.
13. Disqualification: Violation of contest rules, unsportsmanlike
conduct or taking credit for excessive unverifiable QSOs will be
deemed sufficient cause for disqualification.
14. All decisions of the contest committee are final. The contest is
sponsored by Czech Radio Club (CRC), member of the IARU.
15. Awards: The participants will be awarded in three divisions:
OK/OM, EU and DX. In each division and each category the top 50% of
entrants will be awarded. From all entrants will be allotted 10
entrants (random selection) who will get T-shirt with contest logo.
Plaques will be awarded to the winners of the categories, only if
they make at least 73 QSO in single band category, 200 QSO in QRP or
400 QSO in all band category. One station can be awarded up to one
plaque - for the category, where the maximum of points were
achieved. The list of awards and their donors is still updating
