Data survey for the M[ost] W[anted] 50 + 144 MHz S[quares] Europe.
by Guido, DL8EBW and the german magazine "FUNK-TELEGRAMM" by DL8HCZ.

Since the early 90s we were running this survey and it is year by year
quite nice to see that a lot of vhf-dx-peditioners used and checked
it for finding a good and wanted target for their expeditions.
Again this year we will run these survey with a small change against
past years. Guido, DL8EBW will stop his activity on these matter due
to the problem of time. From now on he will concentrate more on his
VHF- or MS/EME/WSJT-Databases projects - please have a look at:
http://www.dl8ebw.de/DATABASE/database.html .  From now on Joe,
DL8HCZ /C T1HZE (FUNK-TELEGRAMM / DUBUS) will take over Guidos part.

Please check the following rules and send us your informations.
Start will be 18.12.2005 and deadline is 06.03.2006 so we will be
able to spread out the results in begin of april 2006 and everybody
will have a good chance to find a recommended square to activate
in the next season. Here the rules:

M[ost] W[anted] 50 + 144 MHz S[quares] Europe 2006

Everybody can once send in as many most wanted squares as he wants.
Of course it will be necessary that the wanted squares have to be
in a reachable area from the senders QTH. We recommend:

TROPO    on 50 MHz:   500 km  ;  on 144 MHz:   800 km
WET-SQR  on 50 MHz:   500 km  ;  on 144 MHz:   800 km
MS/ES    on 50 MHz:  3500 km  ;  on 144 MHz:  2000 km
DXCC     on 50 MHz:  3500 km  ;  on 144 MHz:  2500 km

Example: if you are qrv on 144 MHz tropo you might send a list of
squares in range of 800 km around your QTH, if you qrv also MS/ES
you might send in squares in range of 2000 km. Also all "wet" squares
are possible to activate but shall be within your tropo range.
Its your decision if you count only "not worked square", or if you
add the squares pending on confirmation.

The prefered method to send in your entry for the survey will be a
MWD formated file that can be iven out from at least several
log-programs (have a look at the end of these announcement).
If your logbook program does not support the MWD format (created by
Bo, OZ2M) or you do not use a PC based logbook program you please
alternatively submit your entry as an ANSI file (a simple textfile
with name: "call".log - you also be able to edit your last years file
to send in, if you was taking part at past year survey):
