[Elecraft] SOC Marathon Sprint

[Bob Patten]

Coming up this Saturday, rules below.  At last count, we have 716
members, so hopefully we will have good participation.  QRP is preferred
on the calling frequencies listed, but since more than 5W is allowed in
the rules, please limit power to no more than 100W.
I'll be using the club call, W0SOC


             SECOND CLASS OPERATOR'S CLUB MARATHON SPRINT
             ____________________________________________


SOC Marathon Sprint
Most sprints run four hours, but since we're Second Class Op's,
we need more time!

Date/Time: Sep. 9, 2006, 1800Z through 2400Z


Exchange:     Member - RST, State/Province/Country, SOC Number
          Non-Member - RST, State/Province/Country, Power Out

QSO Points:                          Member = 5 Points
            Non-Member, Different Continent = 4 Points
                 Non-Member, Same Continent = 2 Points

Multiplier:   SPC (State/Province/Country) total for all bands.
              The same station may be worked on more than one band for
              QSO  points and SPC credit.

Power Multiplier:     0 - 250mW = X 15
                    250 mW - 1W = X 10
                        1W - 5W = X 7
                        Over 5W = X 1

Suggested Frequencies:

160 Meters            1810 kHz
80 Meters             3560 kHz
40 Meters             7040 kHz

15 Meters            21060 kHz
10 Meters            28060 kHz

Score:
Points (total for all bands) X SPCs (total for all bands) 
X Power Multiplier

Apply an additional multiplier of 1.5 if using a homebrew paddle (kits
such as the NorCal and AZ ScQRPions paddles qualify).

All entries are Multi-Band to promote maximum participation.

Entry includes a copy of the log and a separate summary sheet.
Indicate total time-on-the-air, and include a legible name, call, SOC
Number (if any) and address.  All entries must be received within 30
days of the contest date.  The highest output power used will determine
the power multiplier.  Include a description of homebrew equipment
(including paddle or key), commercial equipment, and antennas used with
each entry.


Results may be posted on QRP-L and on the SOC Website.  The final
decision on all maters concerning the contest rests with the contest
manager.  Entries are welcome via E-Mail to n4bp at arrl.net, or by snail
