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.
• S každou stanicou možno na každom pásme započítať len jedno platné spojenie, during which both stations transferred and confirmed the complete competition code. Repeated connections must be marked in the diary (RPT, DUPE, etc.) with a point value 0.
• Používanie DX Clusteru, chatu, mobilu a podobne is not limited.

Competition code

It consists of RS alebo RST, poradového čísla spojenia a WW lokátora.
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.
