Bonjour � tous,

A short one to remind you that for those who can still be active on air, next
Saturday (14th of Sept), some SOC Sprint should run.
Full info are available on the SOC web site, here is a copy for those of you not
well aware with internet surfing ((:o)

ATTENTION - ALL SOC MEMBERS - ATTENTION

N4BP, our Contest Manager, is sending us a final call on this subject :
should the number of entries be less than 50 (+- 50%), he will be cruel
and will stop the SOC Sprint tradition.
Be fare, think for the future of your children, do something positive for
the humanity ... enter the SOC Sprint !!


SECOND CLASS OPERATOR'S CLUB MARATHON SPRINT
_________________________________________________________________

SOC Marathon Sprint ??????
Most sprints run four hours, but since we're Second Class Op's, we
need more time!

Date/Time: Sept. 14, 2002, 1800Z through 2400Z


Exchange: Member - RST, State/Province/Country, SOC Number
Non-Member - RST, State/Province/Country, Power Out

QSO Points: Member = 5 Points
Non-Member, Different Continent = 4 Points
Non-Member, Same Continent = 2 Points

Multiplier: SPC (State/Province/Country) total for all bands.
The same station may be worked on more than one band for
QSO points and SPC credit.

Power Multiplier: 0 - 250 MW = X 15;
250 MW - 1 Watt = X 10;
1 W - 5 W = X 7;
Over 5 W = X 1.

Suggested Frequencies:
GENERAL NOVICE
160 Meters 1810 KHz
80 Meters 3560 KHz 3710 KHz
40 Meters 7040 KHz 7110 KHz
20 Meter 14060 KHz
15 Meters 21060 KHz 21110 KHz
10 Meters 28060 KHz 28110 KHz
6 Meters 50128 KHz

Score:
Points (total for all bands) X SPCs (total for all bands) X Power Multiplier

Apply an additional multiplier of 1.5 if using a homebrew paddle (kits such
as the NorCal / K8DD paddle qualify).

AND... Take an additional X10 mult if sending with your left foot while
wearing SOCs. (Of course no one will copy, so your score will be zero!)

All entries are Multi-Band to promote maximum participation.
Certificates to the top 10 scorers, and to the top scorer in each SPC.
The certificate manager reserves the right to recognize special significant
entries with a certificate award.

Entry includes a copy of the log and a separate summary sheet.
Include duplicate check sheets with entries of 100 QSOs or more. Indicate
total time-on-the-air, and include a legible name, call, SOC Number
(if any) and address. All entries must be received within 30 days of the
contest date. Late entries will be counted as check logs. Members and
non-members indicate their output power for each band. The highest power
used will determine the power multiplier. Output power is considered as
1/2 of input power. Include a description of homebrew equipment (including
paddle or key), commercial equipment, and antennas used with each entry.

Include an SASE with your entry for a copy of the results.
Results will be posted on QRP-L and on the SOC Website. The final decision
on all maters concerning the contests rests with the contest manager.
Entries are welcome via E-Mail to n4bp@arrl.net , or by snail mail to:
