 Hey  it is time for  2004 QRP Afield. This is 'The" Big QRP Field Day 
operation.
nformation and rules or004QRP Afield
Date: 
Saturday, 18 September 2004 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Time: 
Best six hour contiguous period during 11:00 AM EDT to 11:00 PM EDT.  You may 
work throughout the entire 12 hour period and select your best six hour 
period. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Exchange: 
NE-QRP members:   RST, State/province/country, NE-QRP Number 
Non members:   RST, State/province/country, Power 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Bands and Modes: 
160M, 80M, 40M, 20M, 15M, 10M. 
Any mode (CW, SSB, AM, PSK, etc.); all count the same. 
Only one contact per station per mode per band. 
Standard QRP frequencies are recommended within each band (or generally 
accepted frequencies for those modes for which there are no specific QRP 
frequencies).  But, please, let's spread out a little -- not everyone within a kilohertz 
of 14.060. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Scoring: 
Power/Location Multiplier: 
   1 point per contact if you are QRO (above 5 watts) and operating from a 
permanent location. 
   2 points per contact if you are QRO and operating from a field or mobile 
location. 
   5 points per contact if you are QRP (5 watts or less) and operating from a 
permanent location. 
  10 points per contact if you are QRP and operating from a field or mobile 
location. 
All contacts must be made from a single power/location category  (i.e., the 
category is to remain the same once selected). 
Plus: Count QSOs (once per band) with WQ1RP as THREE (3) contacts, subject to 
scoring above (e.g., a QRP field operator will score each legitimate WQ1RP 
contact as 30 points). 
  
Final score will be the total number of contacts (including each WQ1RP 
contact counted as three) multiplied by the power/location category multiplied by 
the SPC multiplier (see below). 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Multipliers: 
Each S/P/C worked counts for one multiplier point and can be counted only 
ONCE PER BAND. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Submission of Results: 
Email your scoresheet with a copy of the contest log (noting the six hour 
period that you select for scoring) and (please) any comments/photos concerning 
your setup, location, experiences, etc., no later than 15 October, to:  
K1CL at arrl.net 
or mail your entry to: 
    Chuck Ludinsky, K1CL, 
    6 Pracing Rd, 
    Chelmsford, MA 01824-1922 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Multi-Club Stations: 
Will not be permitted. That is, simultaneous operation of multiple 
transmitters (on the same or different bands) under a single call sign is not permitted. 
However, multi-operators per club call is fine, with one transmitter in 
operation at a time.
