[SFDXA] WRTC Help[ Needed

[Bill Marx]

As most of you know next weekend (July 13-14) the WRTC2002 event will be
running during the IARU HF Championship Contest.  There will be 52
competing teams all using the OJ1, OJ2, OJ3, OJ4, OJ5, OJ6, OJ7 and OJ8
prefixes.  They will be operating from the "Ring Three" area of
Helsinki, Finland, not Market Reef!  I hope all of you are able to get
on CW and or SSB to work these stations in support of the event.
Immediately after the contest the judges and referees will be collecting
the logs of the OJ stations.  They will be running the logs through
special log checking software to determine the accuracy.  This is where
they need your help.  Please read the below and help out.  Your
participation is greatly appreciated.  By the way the WRTC2002 committee
will only use the logs for the purpose of checking the WRTC stations
logs.  You must still submit your logs to the IARU (ARRL).  You may post
this e-mail on your club mailing list (reflectors).

OJ1- OJ8 prefixes activated for the 1st time!

The WRTC2002 teams will be using special '2x1' type of callsigns with
special OJ1-OJ8 prefixes (e.g. OJ1A).  The OJ1-OJ8 prefixes are
activated
for the first time in history to honour WRTC2002 - the Olympics of
Amateur
Radio contesting in Finland.

Worked All WRTC2002 - Rules for non-WRTC2002 stations

                ?       The same WRTC2002 station can be worked once on
CW
and once on SSB on each band.
                ?       Each correct two-way CW or SSB QSO with a
WRTC2002
station counts 1 point.  A duplicate QSO on same band and mode counts 0
points.
                ?       Score = total sum of QSO points

Logs:

Only e-mail logs (ASCII) are accepted.
The preferred log formats are Cabrillo, CT.ALL and TR.DAT.
