The Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC) invites radio amateurs world wide to participate in the annual WAE DX Contest. 1 Times CW: August, second full weekend Saturday, August 9, 2008, 0000 UTC until Sunday, August 10, 2008, 2359 UTC SSB: September, second full weekend Saturday, September 13, 2008, 0000 UTC until Sunday,September 14, 2008, 2359 UTC RTTY: November, second full weekend Saturday, November 8, 2008, 0000 UTC until Sunday, November 9, 2008, 2359 UTC 2 Bands 3.5 - 7 - 14 - 21 - 28 MHz. According to IARU Region I regulations, operation is not allowed in the following contest-free windows: CW : 3560-3800; 14060-14350 kHz SSB: 3650-3700; 14100-14125; 14300-14350 kHz. 3 Categories * SINGLE-OP LOW max. output 100 watts - all bands. Only one signal permitted at any time. * SINGLE-OP HIGH output higher than 100 watts - all bands. Only one signal permitted at any time. * MULTI-OP Band changes are allowed every 10 minutes; this includes all activities of a main station, including QSO & QTC traffic and CQing. Only exception: working of a multiplier. Other transmitters may be used in parallel to the main station to work multipliers on other bands. * SWL (see part 12) Attention! The use of DX spotting nets is allowed in all categories. 4 Off Times Single Operator stations may only operate 36 out of the 48 hour contest period. The total of 12 hours off time may be taken in one part but not more than three parts. The off times must be shown on the summary sheet. If operation is interrupted for more than 12 hours the three longest off time periods must be a minimum of 12 hours. 5 Exchange A contest QSO can only be conducted between a European and a non-European station (exception: RTTY). The exchange consists of RS/RST and a progressive serial number starting with 001. If the station worked does not send a serial number, log the contact with number 000. Each station can be credited only once per band. 6 Multiplier For non-European stations the multiplier is the number of countries defined in the WAE Country List (see below) worked per band. For European stations every non-European DXCC entity counts as a multiplier. Exception: In the following countries up to ten call areas count as multipliers: W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS, JA, PY and RA8/RA9 and RAØ -- without respect to the geographic location. Examples: W1, K1, KA1 and K3../1 count as W1; VE1, VO1 und VY1 count as VE1; JR4, 7M4 und 7K4 count as JA4; ZL2 and ZL6 are two different multipliers. Multiplier bonus: Country multiplier points are "weighted" by band. Multiply the number of countries worked on 3.5 MHz by four, on 7 MHz by three, and on 14/21/28 MHz by two. The total multiplier is the sum of the weighted multiplier points of all bands. 7 QTC Traffic Additional points can be achieved by QTCs. A QTC is the report of a contest QSO back to a European station (exception: RTTY, see part 13). The following rules apply: 1. A QTC contains time, call sign and serial number of the reported QSO. Example: "1307/DA1AA/431" means that DA1AA was worked at 1307 UTC and sent serial number 431. 2. Each QSO may only be reported once as a QTC. The QTC may not be reported back to the original station. 3. Every QTC that was correctly transferred, counts one point for the sender and one point for the receiver. 4. Two stations may exchange up to 10 QTCs maximum. The two stations may establish contact several times to complete the quota. 5. QTCs are transferred by means of QTC series. A QTC series is a block of one (minimum) to ten (maximum) QTCs. QTC series are numbered using the following scheme: The first figure is the progressive serial number starting with one; the second figure denotes the number of QTCs in the series. Example: "QTC 3/7" means this is the third QTC series transmitted by this station and it contains seven QTCs. 6. For every QTC series that is transmitted or received, the QTC number, time and frequency band of the QTC transmission must be logged. If any of this data is missing from your log, no credit will be given for this QTC series. 8 Scoring The final score is the result of total QSOs plus QTCs on all bands multiplied by the sum of all multipliers weighted by the band bonus factor (see part 6). 9 Disqualification Violation of the rules of the contest or unsportsmanlike conduct will be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification. The decisions of the contest-committee are final. 10 Submissions URL: http://www.waedc.de Messages to contest manager (no logs): Logs need to be sent in STF or Cabrillo-Format to the following e-mail address: WAECW : WAESSB : WAERTTY : Be sure to put the station callsign in the subject of each message. By submitting an electronic log, the participant claims to fully accept the rules of the contest. A written declaration is not necessary. Hand-written logs: After the contest use a proper logging program or LM from DL8WAA to enter your data. See Link: http://contestsoftware.com/e/home.htm If you do not have a computer, please ask a friend or family member to import the log. 11 Club Competition The club score is calculated by adding the final results of all participating club members in all three WAE contests, excluding SWLs. To be counted, the name of the club has to be indicated in the log on a separate line using the keyword Club. The club must not be an official national amateur radio club. Participating club members must live within an area of a circle with a maximum of 500 km (312 miles) diameter. For a club to be listed, a minimum of three logs must be submitted. A trophy is sponsored for the top DX (non-EU) and the top EU clubs. New! For the German DARC/VFDB-Clubmeisterschaft put your DOK in the log on a separate line using the keyword Specific. 12 Special Rules for SWLs SWLs record stations working in the WAEDC. Participation is only possible as a single operator all bands. Every call sign heard - European or non-European station - may be credited only once per band. Both call signs of a contest QSO have to be recorded. Each station that is logged including the serial number that was sent by that station, counts one point. Every complete QTC which includes all QTC series information (up to a maximum of 10 per station) also counts one point. Multipliers are counted according to the criteria indicated in part 6, but both European and non-European multpliers are counted. A call sign can only be counted as a multiplier, if the serial number it sent was recorded. In the best case, for a completely recorded QSO, two points and two multipliers can be credited. 13 Special Rules for RTTY In the RTTY portion of the WAEDC there are no continental limits; everybody can work everybody. Only QTC traffic must be performed between different continents. Every station may send and receive QTCs. The sum of QTCs exchanged between two stations (sent plus received) must not exceed 10 (ten). The European and non-European multipliers indicated in part 6 count for all stations. 14 Log Deadline CW: September 15; SSB: October 15; RTTY: December 15, 2008. Criteria for WAEDC Awards and Plaques Continental winners will receive a plaque. Printable online certificates will be availabe for all stations on result publication. Stations who activate a WAE country for the WAEDC from where no log was received over the last three years will be recognized as "WAEDC Hero" and receive a special prize. For 2008 these countries are: 1AØ 3A C3 HV JW JX OY R1F R1M SV/A T7 YU8 Stations who have been into the Top-Ten/Top-Six list for at least five times can apply for a special plaque. The WAEDC committee reserves the right to honor special contest activities with additional plaques.

Nie wiem czy znajdzie wielu chętnych na studiowanie tak długiego (i nieco skomplikowanego) regulaminu i to w dodatku po angielsku. Tym bardziej, że są to zawody w których robi się przeważnie "matulaturę dx-ową", a spotkanie nowego kraju na paśmie jest mało prawodopodobne. Owszem pracują ciekawe kraje, ale z Europy, a w tych zawodach Europy się niestety nie robi. Jak będą odpowiednie warunki to spróbuję coś ustrzelić na 80m nad ranem, ale jak nie będzie odpowidich waruków propagacyjnych (a przeważnie nie ma) sznase są zerowe. Jesli chodzi o propagację na wyższych pasmach to ostatnio można powiedzieć, że jej raczej wcale nie ma. Zawody zapowiadają się więc wyjątkowo nieciekawie. Ale może się tarfić jakieś otwarcie i młodsi stażem mogą porpóbować coś zrobić na wyższych pasmach. Ach prawda zapomiałem, że jeszcze im "nie dali", a i ze znajomością telegrafii też chyba nie jest najlepiej. Ciągle nie mogę pojąć wszystkich, którzy ciagle czekają i czekają "aż dadzą" (i to juz od lat). To bardzo źle świadczy o ich zaangazowaniu. Tym bardziej, że jak nawet "dadzą" to znowu jakieś okrawki. To nie można się zmoblizować i samemu sobie wziąć wszystko (tzn zdobyć 1 kategorę?)? Czy ta telegrafią jest tak straszna, że wszystcy trzesą się przed nią ze strachu? A może to jednak tylko głupie uprzedzenie. Nie bójcie się nie przepracujecie się nauką telegrafii. A potem ta "przestarzała" emisja bardzo się przyda do robienia super ciekawych stacji. Jeszcze nie zauważyilście, że na na ssb mocą 50W to można bardzo niewiele... A może jednak warto wziąć się za prawdziwe krótkofalarstwo? UKF na antenach dookólnych i 80m ssb to jakby takie niezbyt wysokie loty. 73 Krzysztof

Łączności takie jednak nie będą zaliczane do punktacji w zawodach.. |

To dobra wiadomość, bo można dorobić naprawdę ciekawe i bardzo rzadko spotykane stacje EU szczególnie na wyższych pasmach, aby tylko propagacja była... Ciekawe czy ktokolwiek z Lublina weźmie udział w części telegraficznej poza SP8BAB który pewnie jak zwykle bedzie obecny.. Czy ktokolwiek z posiadaczy nowo wydanych licencji (powiedzmy w ciągu kiku ostatnich lat) planuje zrobić choć kilka łaczności? Czy telegrafia jest tak przerażająca, że wszyscy ciekają w popłochu... Widzę jednego kolegę który mógłby, ale on na jedynkę wiec telegrafii sie nie boi. Edytowane przez sp8gsc dnia 06/08/2008 14:22 73 Krzysztof
