These conditions apply from April 22, 2013 for the Easter Race (hereinafter referred to as the main race) and the Children's Easter Race (hereinafter referred to as the Children's Race), announced by the Tanvald Radio Club.
The race is always held every day Easter Sunday, and that from 8.00-14.00 UTC main race, and follows on from it from 14.00-15.00 UTC children's Easter race.
Connections with non-competing stations are also valid, but they must exchange the entire competition code, including the sequence number.

SO (SINGLE OP) – a station used by individuals without any outside help during the race. Foreign assistance during the race means own operation of the transmitting and receiving equipment, routing of antennas, keeping a diary and an overview of the stations that were worked with, operation of equipment for access to the PR network.
MO (MULTI OP) – other stations
Types of operation
CW and phones according to the permit conditions, while it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the I. Region IARU for various types of operation in frequency sections of amateur radio bands.
All station equipment must be placed on an area with a maximum diameter of 500 meters. The location of the station may not be changed during the race.
Použitie DX Clusteru a pod. nie je obmedzené.
At any given time, each station may have only one signal on one band, while the signal(s) needed to connect to the packet radio network are not considered.
More than one station may broadcast from one station, it depends on the agreement between them.
The power output of the transmitter output stage must be in accordance with the permit conditions, unless otherwise specified by plant conditions. For children's races, the maximum power is 10 watts.
Connection EME, cross-band and via terrestrial or space transmitters are not included in the race.
Only one valid connection can be counted with each station in the race on each competition band, in which the complete competition code was transmitted and confirmed by both stations. Repeated connections must be marked in the log (RPT, dupe, etc.) with a point value of 0.
Competition code
The contest code consists of RS or RST, sequence number of the connection and WW-locator. The sequence number of the connection must start with the number 001 on each band. The complete code, including the sequence number of the connection from 001, is also transmitted by non-competing stations that do not want to be evaluated. Three zeros - 000 - is not a proper sequence number and the connection will be marked as invalid by the evaluator. Stations that do not want to be rated do not have to send a log!
Scoring
One point is calculated for each kilometer spanning the distance between the two stations. The point value of the connection in the competition diary must be given as a whole number. 1 point is counted for a connection in the same WW-locator. According to the recommendations of I.Region IARU, a coefficient of 111.2 should be used for the conversion of degrees to kilometers, taking into account the curvature of the Earth. The WGS-84 system (World Geodetic system 1984) is used to determine the latitude and longitude of the competition site for calculating the locator.
The competition diary can only be sent to the evaluator in electronic form.
The electronic diary must be in the EDI format (REG1TEST), designated as the standard format for evaluating races within Region I. IARU. The diary in any other format will not be accepted and the station will not be evaluated in the race.
The diary must be separate for each competition zone.
The diary from the race must be sent to the evaluator's address no later than the tenth day after the end of the race.
The connection is invalid if the station has in the log:
– any error in the received code, i.e. in the tag, report, connection serial number or locator
if it has a connection time difference of more than 10 minutes from the correct UTC time.
– ten times the point value of the counted repeated connection will be charged to the controlled station for a repeated and counted connection.
The station will not be evaluated in the race:
– for non-compliance with competition or licensing conditions
– for more than 10% of miscalculated distances
– for false or erroneous data listed in the competition diary
– for unsportsmanlike behavior in the race.
Prices
Main plant:
Big Easter Egg
– for a record number of points, meaning the sum of all bands in which the station competed.
Little easter egg
– for the first three places in the SO and MO categories, if there are at least 15 stations in the given category
- for the first place, if it is in the given category, at least 5 stations will be rated
– for the best foreign station working outside the territory of OK
– for the best station NOVICE. It is necessary to enter NOVICE in the electronic journal in the [Remarks] field.
Race of children
– a small Easter egg – for the first three places in absolute order, after adding up the points from all the bands in which the station competed. Only operators who are under the age of 18 on the day of the race will be evaluated in this race. It is necessary to indicate the date of birth of the operators in the [Remarks] field in the electronic diary.
The evaluator's decision is final.
Send logs only via
Web interface at the address http://ok1kkt.cz in the section Easter race - Send diary. A station that is not listed in the preliminary assessment on the ok1kkt.cz website will not be evaluated in the race. In case of problems, contact the operator manager ok1miq@volny.cz
