SA (SINGLE OP) – a station manned by an individual without any outside help during the race. Foreign assistance is understood as any assistance in operating the transmitting and receiving equipment, setting the direction of antennas, keeping a logbook and keeping records of connections, as well as operating equipment for accessing the PR network.
-
MO (MULTI OP) – other stations.
Types of operation: CW and fon as permitted, while Region I recommendations must be followed IARU for individual operating modes in radio bands.
Station location: All station equipment must be located on an area with a maximum diameter of 500 m. The position may not be changed during the race.
-
Používanie DX Clusteru a podobne nie je obmedzené.
-
Each station can only have one signal on one band at a time (signals needed to connect to Packet Radio are not counted).
-
Several stations can broadcast from one station, according to the agreement between them.
-
The power output of the transmitter output stage must be in accordance with the permit, unless otherwise specified by the race. For the children's race, the max. power 10 W.
-
Connections EME, cross-band and via terrestrial or space transmitters are not counted in the race.
-
Each connection with the station is counted only once on the given band and the complete competition code must be submitted and confirmed. Repeated connections are marked in the log (RPT, DUPE, etc.) with a point value of 0.
Contest code: consists of RS or RST, sequence number of the connection and WW-locator. The sequence number must start with 001 on each band. This data is also transmitted by non-competing stations that do not want to be evaluated. 000 is not a valid sequence number and the connection will be invalid. Stations that do not wish to be rated need not send a log.
Scoring: 1 point for every kilometer covered between stations. 1 point is counted for a connection in the same WW-locator. To calculate the distance, the coefficient 111.2 according to the recommendation of IARU region and the WGS-84 system is used.
Competition diary:
-
It is sent electronically only.
-
EDI format (REG1TEST). Any other format will not be accepted.
-
Diary for each zone separately.
-
Send no later than 10 days after the end of the race.
Invalid connections:
-
Error in the received code (brand, report, serial number, locator).
-
Difference in connection time >10 min compared to UTC.
Reconnection: ten times the points will be deducted from the controlled station.
Disqualification: non-compliance with the rules, incorrect distances >10%, false data or unsportsmanlike conduct.
Prices:
-
Main race: Big Easter Egg - record number of points; Small Easter egg – 1st to 3rd place in SO and MO categories (with a minimum number of stations). Prizes also for the best foreign station and NOVICE.
-
Race of children: Small Easter Egg - 1st to 3rd place in absolute order, only for operators under 18 years old, entry of date of birth in electronic diary.
-
The evaluator's decision is final.
