[KI4KWR - Steve Molo]

Good Day Everyone,

                This weekend is Jamboree on the Air
(http://www.scouting.org/jota.aspx) for Boy Scouts and I will be at the Site
(WYRS) from 8am to Noon (Saturday 20th) if anyone wants to get on the air or
come see the Site and see what we have to offer.

 

Next weekend is the CQ WW SSB Contest and next month is the CW Contest.
So..does anyone want to participate in the SSB Contest next weekend? If so
this gives me an idea of what Category we will enter in; criteria is below.
This is a good time for the anyone to get on the air and work some countries
and even get an Award too. But please...let me know if you are coming so I
know how many radios to setup.

B. Single Operator Overlay Categories: Any Single Operator entrant that
meets the requirements may ALSO enter one of the categories shown below by
adding the appropriate CATEGORY-OVERLAY line in the Cabrillo log file
header. Overlay category entries will be listed separately in the results;
scored as All Bands; and grouped by High Power and Low Power (includes QRP).

1. Classic Operator (CLASSIC): The entrant will use only one radio, no QSO
finding assistance, and may operate up to 24 of the 48 hours - off times are
a minimum of 60 minutes during which no QSO is logged. If the log shows more
than 24 hours of operation, only the first 24 hours will be counted for the
overlay score. The one radio must not be able to receive while transmitting.
Single Operator Assisted entries are not eligible for this category.

2. Rookie (ROOKIE): The operator was first licensed as a radio amateur less
than three (3) years before the date of the contest. Indicate the date first
licensed in the SOAPBOX field.

Multi-Operator Categories (all-band operation only): Any number of operators
is allowed. QSO finding assistance is allowed. Only one transmitted signal
per band is permitted at any time.

1. Single Transmitter (MULTI-ONE): Only one transmitted signal on one band
permitted during any 10-minute period (run station/signal). Exception: One -
and only one - other transmitted signal (multiplier station/signal) may be
used during any 10-minute period, if - and only if - it is on a different
band from the run transmitter and the station worked is a new multiplier.
The run and multiplier transmitters are governed by independent 10-minute
rules. Ten-minute periods begin with the first QSO on a band. The log must
indicate which station/signal (run or multiplier) made each QSO. The
multiplier station/signal may not call CQ (solicit contacts). Please be sure
to read the Multi-Single FAQ section at < http://www.cqww.com/rules_faq.htm
>.

a. High Power: Total output power must not exceed 1500 watts on any band at
any time.

any time.

2. Two Transmitters (MULTI-TWO): A maximum of two transmitted signals on two
different bands may be used at any time. The log must indicate which
station/signal made each QSO. Each station/signal may make a maximum of 8
band changes in any clock hour (00 through 59 minutes). Total output power
must not exceed 1500 watts on any band at any time. 

3. Multi-Transmitter (MULTI-UNLIMITED): The six contest bands may be
activated simultaneously. Only one transmitted signal per band is permitted
