OK – OM DX contest 2013

Termín pretekov: The second full weekend of November, 9/11/2013 from 12:00 UTC to 10/11/2013 11:59 UTC
Type of operation: CW
Pásma: 1.8 to 28 MHz, excl WARC pásiem

Categories:

• One operator - all bands, power up to 1500 W (SOAB HP)

• One operator - all bands, power up to 100 W (SOAB LP)

• One operator - one band, power up to 1500 W (SOSB HP)

• One operator - one band, power up to 100 W (SOSB LP)

• Jeden operátor – QRP (power up to 5 W, all bands only)

• Multiple operators, one transmitter (MS) - all bands, power according to license conditions

• Listeners (SWL)

The use of the DX-cluster is allowed in all categories. One operator can register in several categories a) - e) (e.g. at the same time SOAB, SO SB 20 m and SO SB 80 m). For the MS category, the following applies: the minimum working time on one band is 10 minutes. A quick change of band in order to obtain a multiplier is allowed (i.e. when connecting on band A, one can obtain a multiplier on band B and then return to band A).

Making connections:

• OK/OL/OM stations establish connections only with stations outside OK/OL/OM.

• Stations outside OK/OL/OM establish connections only with OK/OL/OM stations.

• Connection to the same station is valid only once on each band.

Sending code:

• OK/OL/OM: RST + district emblem (eg 599 BPZ).

• Stations outside OK/OL/OM: RST + connection sequence number from 001.

Multipliers:

• OK/OL/OM: prefixes according to WPX policy, separately on each band.

• Stations outside OK/OL/OM: districts, separately on each band.

Points for QSO:

• OK/OL/OM: EU = 1 point, non-EU = 3 points

• EU stations: 1 point, non-EU stations: 3 points

Výsledok: Total result = total number of points × total number of multipliers.

Listener Rules (SWL)

Listeners can count each station on each band only once.
For each properly recorded QSO (date, UTC, band, station mark, sent contest code and opponent station mark) they get:

• 1 point, ak je počúvaná stanica na rovnakom kontinente ako poslucháč

• 3 points, ak je počúvaná stanica na inom kontinente

Ak sú zaznamenané obidva odoslané kódy, ide o dva samostatné záznamy – each on its own line, with its own point evaluation and multiplier designation. So it is possible to get for one complete intercepted connection až 4 body (3 + 1) a až 2 násobiče.

SWL from the territory of OK and OM count points for all stations; other SWL only for stations OK/OL/OM.

Násobiče SWL (OK/OM): prefixes of non-OK/OL/OM stations and districts of OK/OL/OM stations, regardless of band.
Násobiče SWL (mimo OK/OM): OK/OL/OM districts, separately for each band.
