* 144 MHz VHF-ACTIVITY-DX-CONTEST *
*****************************************************************
This contest is organized by the VHF-DX-Group DL-West with support
from the German magazine Funk-Telegramm (FT). Object of this contest is
to activate the 144 MHz-Band within the meaning of DX buisness, like
DXpedition or exploring propagation phenomenas. The question is to work
during one calendar year (01. Jan. -31. Dec.), stations in distances
from
499 km onwards and squares (SQRs) as much as possible!
CLASSES:
A) PHONE
For stations working phone exclusively. SSB and FM mode is valid.
B) CW
Exclusive telegraphie class.
C) MIXED
This class is for stations working phone and telegraphie.
*) You are allowed to choose yourself the category.
If you wish you can take part in all classes, but then seperated
logs for each class are necessary!
QSO-POINTS:
Every QSO on 144 MHz with a station in distance of at least 500 km from
your actual QTH counts one QSO-point. A QSO with a station counts one
time
during the contest periode of one calendar year. Double QSOs in this
periode are not valid. Only if you change your own Square, or the
station
you have worked before changes its SQR (DX-Pedition, portable...) you
can
count this as one new QSO-point again (of course QRB must also be > 499
km).
QSOs worked via satellites, repeaters etc. are not valid!
Also EME-QSOs do not count in this contest!
SQUARE-MULTIPLIER:
this is the total number of different SQRs worked in one contestperiode.
This may include your own SQR(!), SQRs in low distances (also less than
500 km!) and SQRs you worked on your 2nd QTH, 3rd QTH... if they were
not
worked before from your home.
To avoid counting double QSOs from the same SQR, a checklist should be
made. These checklists, one for each of your locations you were
active from, should include: own call, SQR, call and SQR of worked
station,
date and (as known) kind of propagation.
Please add a square map with declarations of total SQR-points
multiplicated
with total number of QSO-Points (1st QTH + 2nd QTH...) and of your
total result:
SQUARE-Points x QSO-Points = Total
The SQR map should give us an statistical overview of your work and the
propagation in the periode of the contest in your area.
The contest will be evaluated untill end of February. Therefore it is
necessary to have your logs until Jan. 31st of the following year at the
contest managers mail box:
VHF-DX-Group DL-West

e-mail logs as txt, doc or adif or other common files are welcome.
mailto: [email protected]
or [email protected]
The first three stations of the three section will receive certificates!
The results will be published by the magazine Funk-Telegramm (FT)
and in other wellknown VHF-magazines as well as via packet radio.
If you send a SASE with your log, you will receive the results also via
mail! Special contest SQR-maps are available with a SASE at DK2BJ.
!!GOOD SUCCSESS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS!!
