              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: March 08, 2003, 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).

All entries are Multi-Band to promote maximum participation.

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.
