OK-OM DX CW Contest 2014

  • Date of the race: The second full weekend in November, 8.11. 2014 from 12:00 UTC do 9.11. 2014 11:59 UTC
  • Type of operation: CW
  • Bands: 1.8 to 28 MHz, outside the WARC band
  • category:
    1. One operator – all bands, power to 1500 W (SOAB HP)
    2. One operator – all bands, power to 100 W (SOAB LP)
    3. One operator – one band, power to 1500 W (SOSB HP)
    4. One operator – one band, power to 100 W (SOSB LP)
    5. One operator – QRP (power to 5 W, only all bands)
    6. Multiple operators, one transmitter (MS) – all bands, performance according to permitting conditions
    7. Audience (SWL)

    The use of a DX cluster is allowed in all categories. One operator can log in to more than one category and) – e) (thus e.g.. at the same time SOAB, SO SB 20m a SO SB 80m). Pro kategorii MS: the shortest working time on one band is 10 minutes. A quick band change to obtain a new multiplier is allowed (i.e.. when establishing a connection in band A, it is possible to make a multiplier in band B and return to band A).

  • Establishing a QSO: OK / OL / OM establish connections only with stations outside OK / OL / OM. Stations outside OK / OL / OM only establish connections with OK / OL / OM stations. A connection to one station is valid only once on each band.
  • Transmitted code: OK / OL / OM: RST + district emblem (e.g. 599 BPZ). Stations outside OK / OL / OM: RST + starting serial number of the connection 001.
  • Multipliers: OK / OL / OM: WPX prefixes on each band separately. Stations outside OK / OL / OM: districts in each zone separately.
  • Body za QSO: OK / OL / OM: ME = 1 that, I treat = 3 body, EU stations: 1 that, stations outside the EU: 3 body.
  • Result: The total result is the product of the total number of points and the total number of multipliers.
  • Rules for students: Listeners can count each station on each band only once. For each duly recorded QSO (date, UTC, zone, station sign, sent competition code and mark of the opposite station) on each band is counted 1 that (the station you are listening to is on the same continent, as a listener), resp. 3 body (the station you are listening to is on another continent, than the listener). Therefore, if both transmitted codes are recorded, these are two separate records and points are counted for both stations, each on a separate line in the competition diary, including point evaluation and marking of possible multiplier – in this case, it is possible to obtain up to 4 body (3+1) and up to 2 multipliers. SWL from OK and OM count points for listening to all stations, other SWL only points for listening to OK / OL / OM stations. Multipliers for SWL from OK and OM are station prefixes outside OK / OL / OM and OK / OL / OM station districts regardless of bands. Multipliers for SWL outside the OK and OM territories are OK / OL / OM station districts in each band separately.
  • Diaries: All logs must be sent within two weeks after the race, i.e.. do 24.11. 2013 23:59 UTCI. electronic diaries
    1. Diaries are accepted in electronic form only via www interface.
    2. Paper diaries are excluded from the evaluation.
    3. The only possible journal format is Cabrillo
    4. All logs must contain this information for each QSO: date, UTC, zone, counter station sign, transmitted code, received code. Transmitted code (period) it is not necessary to write for each QSO, but it must be stated in the summary (pole SOAPBOX).
    5. Only one summary log is sent at a time, even if the station subscribes to multiple single-band categories .
    6. The categories are marked in the header of the Cabrillo file, a to into one line CATEGORY, behind, and separated by a comma (e.g. “CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL HIGH, SINGLE-OP 10M HIGH”) detailed instructions here.

    8. Programs directly supporting OK / OM DX Contest are:

      We recommend using WPX settings in other journals (pro OK / OL / OM stations) or IARU HF Championship (mimo OK/OL/OM) – the electronic log does NOT have to have points and multipliers marked, nor the calculated total result.

    1. All logs must contain this information for each QSO: date, UTC, zone, the list of the station being listened to, sent code, counter station sign, body, new multiplier.
    2. Summary should be part of every diary (including electronic) and contain this information for each band: beginning QSO, Number of points, number of multipliers. It should also contain categories, in which the participant registers, description of the device, name, address for written correspondence, e-mail and affidavit of compliance with the conditions of the race.
    3. The student diary must be sent in electronic form to the e-mail okomdxc [at-sign] crk.cz
    4. Furthermore, the conditions according to point apply to the student diaries 11.
  • Order, diplomas and awards: Participants are evaluated in three divisions – OK / OM, ME, DX. In each division, the order will be compiled according to individual categories. The diploma in printable electronic form is part of the results list. In addition, all stations will be drawn 10 participants, who receive a souvenir.. In addition, winners of various plaque categories can receive, if he weighs at least 73 QSO in single-band category, 200 QSO v QRP nebo 400 QSO in the all-band category. One station can receive a maximum of one plaque in a given year, and that for categories, in which she achieved the most points.
