[CVCC] Announcing the W4MYA Memorial Dude-In-Chair Award

[wu4g at comcast.net]

Hi All,

Thanks to those who were able to make the CVCC meeting on Zoom tonight.  I
greatly appreciate the comments and feedback.   

 

This is to announce a new CVCC award activity that all members can
participate in.  Your only limitation will be your incentive and free time
to operate.

Doesn't matter about station size, QRP or KW, whether you chatter, paddle,
or diddle, run or search and pounce, home or mobile.  Only requirement is to
computer log and follow the attached rules.

Just get on the air when you can and have fun!  

 

Official rules below.  Also attached in case formatting gets messed up
through the reflector.

W4MYA Memorial Dude-In-Chair Award

1.	Purpose: To provide a means of rewarding CVCC members (Dudes) for
the active participation in contests.
2.	Time Period: Annual contest which runs January 1 - December 31 each
year.  For the 2020 inaugural run - September 1 - December 31.
3.	Eligibility: To be a Dude, you must be a member of the CVCC.
4.	Eligible Contests: Any contest that is supported by a logging
program that tracks and reports operating hours in its summary results.
5.	Scoring: 

*	The Dude-In-Chair score is based on the amount of time operating in
each contest as reported by logging program multiplied by the multiplier for
specific contests and operations.  For example if you report 9.5 hours of Op
Time, you will get 9.5 Dude-In-Chair points.
*	For Multi-Ops each Op gets credited for the full amount of the total
Op Time reported regardless of how long they operated, just so long as they
made and logged contacts. If the Multi Station owner did not operate, they
get credited 25% of the total Op Time reported. 
*	For Guest Op Station the actual Op gets credited for the full amount
of the total Op time reported; the Host Station owner gets credited for 25%
of the total Op time reported.
*	Must follow rules of contest for Off-Time reporting in logging
program. Editing default off-time setting in logging program is not allowed.
*	For all contests, minimum of 1 contact every 30 minutes please.

To be counted, Central Virginia Contest Club must be selected as the club.
7.	Op time: Operators must fill in the "Op Time" box in 3830Scores.com.
If an operator reports a contest but does not indicate an Op Time, the Op
Time will default to "1".
8.	Multipliers:

*	Any ARRL contest that includes the Club Competition has a 10X
multiplier applied to the credited Dude-In-Chair points based on the scoring
defined in section 4.  In order to receive multiplier, participant must be a
Dude that resides in the 35-mile diameter Club Circle as defined by ARRL
Club Competition rules or, operates as a guest op at a club Multi effort.
