Tennessee QSO Party 2005 - Rules |
|||
Tennessee stations may work anyone; those outside Tennessee work only Tennessee stations. Stations may be worked once per band/mode. Mobiles may be worked again if they change counties. No repeater contacts (or contacts on repeater frequencies) allowed.
Four points on VHF/UHF phone; six on VHF/UHF CW.
Multipliers are Tennessee counties. (95 max.) Stations in Tennessee may also add U.S. States, Canadian provinces/territories, and DXCC countries. (don't forget to count Tennessee as a state, and Alaska, Hawaii, USA, and Canada as countries.) District of Columbia counts as Maryland.
You may also claim one bonus multiplier for every five additional QSOs with the same county. (for example, the first QSO with Davidson County is one multiplier. If five more QSOs are completed with Davidson Co. - for a total of six - you may claim a second multiplier.)
Tennessee mobiles may claim as a multiplier any Tennessee county from which they complete at least 10 QSOs.
Certificates will also be awarded to the highest scoring high-power; low-power; and QRP entry from each U.S. state, Canadian province/territory, and DXCC country.
Finally, certificates will be awarded to the first-place Tennessee team, and the first-place outside-Tennessee team.
TCG Headquarters station K4TCG and the TCG itself are not eligible for awards.
Multiple-operator stations may participate in team competition. If more than five stations in a club would like to participate in team competition, they may form more than one team.
Dupe and summary sheets are not required. (all logs are re-scored by computer) Please do include your callsign, power category (high, low, QRP), mailing address, team (if any) and (if you're in Tennessee) county. Mobiles must indicate county changes in their log.
Computer logs are encouraged. Cabrillo format is especially appreciated, but any ASCII text format is acceptable. Email logs are best, but MS-DOS formatted 1.44MB floppy disks are also fine. Be sure to include all required information - especially your mailing address and, for Tennessee stations, your county.
Template files for the TRLog and NA contest programs are posted on the TCG Home Page at http://www.k4ro.net/tcg.html. If you don't have Internet access, write W9WI at the address below for a copy.
Logs must be postmarked before October 12. Enclose a business-size SASE for results, or watch the TCG Home Page. Thanks! |
