A HSCW QSO with Letter system counts                6 Points


A separate Log for HSCW and WSJT is not more necessary, you have only to mar=
k=20
the QSO, whether you worked the QSO in HSCW or WSJT !

Sked QSOs do not count for the contest !  QSOs confirmed via Internet or=20
Packet Radio do not count for the contest !

Contest Rules 2003:

The Bavarian Contest Club (BCC) invites all active meteor scatter enthusiast=
s=20
to join the MS
contest hold during the Geminids shower 2003. The aim of the contest is to=20
generate more
activity on the random frequency and make MS random operation more popular.=20
It will also provide interesting information about MS propagation at various=
=20
times of the shower. And it will give the little pistols a chance to work th=
e=20
big guns, who are usually just out for square hunting.

Contest period: 11 December 2003, 20:00 UTC to 15 December 2003, 02:00 UTC.

Mode: CW and / or WSJT.

Participation: Category I: Mixed Single Operator , Category II: Mixed Multi=20
Operator .
                        =20
During the contest it is allowed to change the QTH to another grid square. I=
n=20
this case the same station can be worked again. The new QTH must be indicate=
d=20
by the callsign (e.g. OH2AV, OH0/OH2AV). You can take part in HSCW as well a=
s=20
in WSJT, but you have to mark each QSO with the mode (CW/WSJT).Sked QSOs do=20
not count for the contest ! QSOs confirmed via Packet Radio or
Internet do not count for the contest !
Frequencies:
CW: It is recommended to use the frequency range from 144.095 to 144.105 MHz=
=20
for CQ calls using the IARU Region 1 procedure (letter system). There are no=
=20
frequency limits. If there is no clear frequency between 144.100 to 144.126=20
MHz, then please try to use a "Extended Letter System" (i.e. CQ "AA" =3D TX-=
QRG +=20
27KHz, CQ "BB" =3D TX-QRG + 28KHz, CQ "CC" =3D TX-QRG + 29KHz...).

WSJT: It is recommended to use beside the frequency 144.370 MHz also 144.350=
=20
for CQ
Calls. Alternate to the IARU Region 1 procedure you should use the =E2=80=
=9E
BCC-procedure" with two or three numbers of your operating QRG (i.e. =E2=80=
=9ECQ 68" or =E2=80=9ECQ=20
368" means, that your operating frequency is 144.368 MHz ) Only one TX signa=
l is=20
allowed at any time .
Exchange: Full callsigns, reports and final rogers. Scoring: A complete=20
random WSJT MS QSO counts 1 QSO point. A WSJT random MS QSO achieved using t=
he=20
letter or BCC system counts 3 QSO points. A complete random HSCW MS QSO coun=
ts 2=20
QSO points. A HSCW random MS QSO achieved using the letter or BCC system cou=
nts=20
6 QSO points. You can work a station one time in CW and one time in WSJT=20
exception: change of QTH.
Multiplier: Sum of different prefixes worked. Prefixes are defined according=
=20
to WPX rules
(Example: DL5, DL1, DJ8, DA0, DF9, I2, IK2, IW2, IT9, EA3, EB3, RK2, W7, WB7=
,=20
PA0, PA3, S51, S53 are different prefixes).
Final Score: Total QSO points times multiplier. Example: 10 HSCW and letter=20
system QSOs count 60 points, 15 WSJT letter QSO=C2=B4s 45 points and 10 WSJT=
 Random=20
QSOs 10 points, together 115 points. You worked in CW and WSJT 20 different=20
prefixes. Final result: 20 x 115 =3D 2300 Pts.

Logs: The following data must be included: Operator's name, category,=20
callsign, address and
QTH locator.Multi OP stations list all operators. For each QSO: date, time i=
n=20
UTC, worked
station, report sent and report received and mode (CW/WSJT)must be given.=20
Mark all QSOs which were conducted using the IARU-Region-I letter system. Al=
so=20
technical data about equipment and antennas used should be stated. Deadline=20=
is=20
31st December, 2003 (postmark).
Awards: The winner of the contest is the station with the highest score. If=20
two stations submit equal scores, the log with the better multiplier wins. T=
he=20
winner of each Category will receive a plaque. Printed results will be sent=20=

all participating stations via E-mail or snail mail. Magazines and radio=20
amateurs world wide have been informed about this activity.
