Competition conditions
The Christmas race is organized by the OK1KHK radio club every December 26 in two stages, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. UTC.
It competes in the 144 MHz CW, SSB and FM band.
Invitation to race: "CQ TEST" / "Challenge Christmas race".
Competition code: RS/RST, sequence number QSO and LOC (eg: 59 001 JO70WE). In both stages, the sequence numbers of the connections continue continuously (so the second stage does not start with QSO number 001 - if you participated in the 1st stage). In each stage, it is possible to make only one QSO with the stations, regardless of the type of operation (the QSO can therefore be repeated in the second stage). The competing station must complete the race in both stages from the same QTH.
Scoring:
For 1 km covered distance = 1 point and for QSO in own LOC = 1 point.
The race is advertised for SINGLE and MULTI categories for OK/OM stations.
Result lists for both categories will be created together for OK/OM.
QSOs with other foreign stations are counted in the race as long as they transmit the prescribed code.
Foreign station logs will be used for checking.
It is not possible to use DX cluster, chat ON4KST and so on. They also don't pay QSOs through transmitters.
Send the diaries in *.EDI format within 10 days:
– na „robota“: http://vanocnizavod.nagano.cz/getlog/upload.php?zavod=1&lang=cz&country=1&refer=1
– interim results are here: http://vanocnizavod.nagano.cz
– by e-mail to: ok1ia(at)seznam(dot)cz
– by packet to: OK0NAG – ok1ia
– by mail to the address: Jan Moskovský, Čajkovského 923/62, 500 09 Hradec Králové
A station that sends a log written by hand or on a mechanical typewriter does not need to calculate points. Such diaries will be transcribed into digital form by the organizer and included in the evaluation.
Diaries printed from the computer and in other formats will only be used for checking (CHECK).
In the EDI format, write all the data as the program offers it, including the postal address, e-mail address and telephone number.
Enter the category as Single or Multi! (Not I., II., SO, etc.!)
The organizer's decision in disputed cases is final.
For the Christmas race, it is also possible to use the popular LOCATOR 12.29 contest diary from Jard OK1DUO, which "handles" the two-stage Christmas race. You can download it including the manual here: http://vanocnizavod.nagano.cz – here is also all the information about this plant.
