Winter QRP race at VKV 2011

These propositions are valid from January 1, 2011 for Zimný QRP pretek na VKV

ČAV – Czech and Moravian amateur broadcasters announce Zimný QRP pretek na VKV.
Zimný QRP pretek na VKV sa koná vždy v nedeľu prvého celého víkendu vo februári. Competitors from all countries can participate in it - that's it medzinárodný pretek.

Competitive bands:

• 432 MHz: 09.00 – 11.00 UTC
• 144 MHz: 11.00 - 13.00 UTC

Types of operation:

CW and phone according to permit conditions, while it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the 1st region IARU pre jednotlivé druhy prevádzky v kmitočtových úsekoch rádioamatérskych pásiem.

Additional conditions:

• QTH arbitrary, there can be an electric current on the dimension.
• The entire equipment of the station must be placed on an area with a maximum diameter of 500 meters. The position of the station may not change during the race.
• The use of a remote receiver or transmitter is not permitted.
• At one time, each station can only have jeden signál, pričom signály potrebné na pripojenie do siete Packet radio sa neberú do úvahy.
• Several stations can broadcast from one station - according to the agreement between them.
• Výkon koncového stupňa vysielača or the sum of the outputs of all final stages must be the maximum 10 wattov.
• Napájanie všetkých zariadení potrebných na prevádzku (TCVR, Rotátor, bug, PC…) musí byť iba z chemických zdrojov. Tie môžu byť počas preteku dobíjané only from solar cells, Peltier cells or mechanical sources powered by human power.
• Antény smú byť postavené no earlier than the Friday before the race.
• Spojenia EME, cross-band a cez ground or space transmitters sa do pretekov nezapočítavajú.
• Each station can only be counted on each band jedno platné spojenie, pri ktorom si obidve stanice odovzdali a potvrdili kompletný súťažný kód. Opakované spojenia musia byť v denníku označené (RPT, Dupe a pod.) s bodovou hodnotou 0.
• Používanie DX Clusteru, chatu, mobilu a podobne is not limited.

Competition code

Pozostáva z RS alebo RST, sequence number of the connection and WW locator.
The serial number of the connection on each band must start with a number 001.
The complete code, including the sequence number from 001, is also transmitted by non-competing stations that do not want to be evaluated.
Tri nuly – 000 – are not a valid sequence number and the connection will be marked as by the evaluator neplatné.
Stations that do not wish to be rated need not send a log.

Scoring

For each kilometer of distance between the two stations is calculated 1 bod.
The point value of the connection in the journal must be listed as celé číslo.
For connection in the same WW lokátore sa počíta 1 bod.
Podľa odporúčaní 1. regiónu IARU má byť použitý koeficient 111,2 for converting degrees to kilometers, taking into account the curvature of the Earth.
A system is used to determine the latitude and longitude of the competition site WGS-84 (World Geodetic System 1984).
Connections with non-competing stations are also valid, but they must transmit the entire competition code, including the sequence number.

Evaluation

Vyhodnocovať sa bude každé pásmo zvlášť aj celý pretek a simple sum of points from both bands.
Stanice single a multi are evaluated together.
The first three stations on each band and in the overall order will receive diplom.

Competition diary

It can be sent electronically or in paper form:

• Elektronický denník musí byť vo formáte EDI (REG1TEST) – standard for evaluating races within the 1st IARU region. Diary in a different format nebude akceptovaný a stanica nebude hodnotená.
• As a paper logbook, a legible photocopy of the station logbook with marked connection points will suffice.
• Možno zaslať aj naskenovaný papierový denník by e-mail, if it is legible and with marked points.
• Denník musí byť odoslaný no later than the tenth day after the end of the race.

The connection is invalid if the station in the log:

• má akúkoľvek chybu in the received code (brand, report, serial number or locator),
• má connection time difference greater than 10 minutes oproti správnemu času UTC.

The station will not be evaluated in the race:

• for non-compliance with competition or permit conditions,
• for false or erroneous data in the competition diary,
• za unsportsmanlike conduct počas preteku.

Log submission:

• Electronically to the address: qrp@seznam.cz
• Poštou na adresu: Miroslav Bečev, Neustupného 1831, 155 00 Prague 5

Zaslaním denníka stanica potvrdzuje, že met the requirements of the Winter QRP race at VKV.
