Dear Friends...

RULES OF EADX 6M CONTEST

EADX 6M CONTEST


OBJECTIVE: Fomenting the activity and experimentation in this magic
band, field day operations as well as CW. In Spain there are still
some areas where the operation in this band is not allowed or highly
restricted. So a list of all the stations having part in this contest
will be sent to the Spanish telecommunications ministry in order to
avoid such restrictions in the excluded areas.

We would appreciate that club stations taking part in this contest
would send us together with logs a letter signed by the association
explaining that they agree with our demand. That letter will be
attached to the stations list explained above.

(*) Please show clear in the summary sheet if you do not want to be
included in this list.

ENTRANTS: Licensed amateur radio and SWL from all over the world.

CATEGORIES:

Single operator
Multioperator or club stations
Short Wave Listeners (SWL)

Only one transmitter can be used at the same time. Multioperator
stations can use two transmitters (one for each mode: SSB and CW)
whenever the antennas of both transmitters will be separated less than
50 meters.

All stations must be operated from the same location during all contest period.

CONTEST PERIOD: From Saturday 1000 UTC 9th June 2007 till Sunday 1600
UTC 10th June 2007. Single operators must have a minimun resting
period of 6 continuous hours.

CONTACTS:  One station can only be worked once on each mode (SSB and
CW). All duplicate QSOs must be clearly stated as DUPE in the logs
with no points claimed. Contacts made through repeaters or EME are not
allowed.

MODES OF OPERATION: Contacts can be performed in SSB and/or CW.

EXCHANGE: RST plus full QTH locator (i.e. 599 JN11BH). Contact time
must be logged but you do not need to exchange it during the QSO.

SWL: They must receive and write down in the log the following data of
both stations: Callsign, QTH locator, date and time. It's not allowed
to log more than 5 QSOs with the same station.

POINTS: One (1) point per kilometer and Two (2) points per kilometer
in QSOs with special stations (these stations will be identified like
this in the QSO).

POINTS for SWL: One (1) point for each QSO in SSB or CW.

MULTIPLIERS: One (1) multiplier for each different main grid square of
each WW Locator achieved during the contest (i.e JN11, IN62, etc.).
