              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 13, 2004, 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:

160 Meters             1810 KHz
 80 Meters             3560 KHz
 40 Meters             7040 KHz
 20 Meter             14060 KHz
 15 Meters            21060 KHz
 10 Meters            28060 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 and AZ ScQRPions paddles qualify).

All entries are Multi-Band to promote maximum participation.

Entry includes a copy of the log and a separate summary sheet.
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.  The highest output power used will determine the power 
multiplier.
Include a description of homebrew  equipment (including paddle or key), 
commercial
equipment, and antennas used  with each entry.

Results may be posted on QRP-L and on the SOC Website.  The final decision
on all maters concerning the contest rests with the contest manager.
