I - DATE:
SECOND WEEK END OF JUNE EACH YEAR
15.00 UTC saturday till 15.00 UTC sunday - 24 hours period.
II - Objective:
For amateurs around the world to contact other amateurs in as many CQ zones
and radio countries as possible in A1A mode (CW). (WORLD WIDE CONTEST -
everybody-works-everybody ) - A station can be contacted once per band only.
III - Bands
All bands, 3,5 through 28, no WARC/160m bands.
IV - Categories:
Single Operator Categories
Single band or all band; only one signal allowed at any time; the operator
can change bands at any time.
Single Operator High
Those stations at which one person performs all of the operating and logging
functions. The use of DX alerting assistance of any kind places the station
in the Multi Operator category. The output power must not exceed your
licence category.
Single Operator Low
The output power shall not exceed 100 watts.
Single Operator QRP
The power output must not exceed 5 watts.
A Single Operator receiving operating and/or thechnical help of any kinf
during the contest period will be clasified as a MO station
Multi-Operator Categories
All band operation only.
Single Transmitter
Only one transmitter and one band permitted during any 10 minute period
defined as starting with the first logged QSO on a band. Exception: One-and
only one-other band may be used during any 10 minute period if-and only if
the station worked is a new multiplier. Logs found in violation of the
ten-minute rule will be automatically reclassified as multi-multi.
Multi-Transmitter
No limit to transmitters but only one signal and running station allowed per
band.
V - Number exchange:
RST report plus CQ zone.
VI - Multiplier:
Two types of multiplier will be used.
1. A multiplier of one (1) for each different zone contacted on each band.
2. A multipier of one (1) for each different country contacted on each band.
Stations are permitted to contact their own country and zone for multiplier
credit. The CQ WAZ definitions, DXCC and the GACW country list, WAE country
list, and WAC boundaries are standards. Maritime mobile stations will count
only for a zone multiplier.
VII - Points:
1. Contacts between stations on different continents are worth three (3)
points.
2. Contacts between stations on the same continent but different countries,
one (1) point.
3. Contacts between stations in the same country are permitted for zone or
country multiplier credit but have zero (0) point value.
4. Contacts with South American stations = 5 pts. (Only for non SA)
VIII - Scoring:
All stations: The final score is the result of the total QSO points
multiplied by the sum of your zone and country multiplier. Example: 100 QSO
points x 100 multiplier (20 Zones + 80 Countries) = 10,000 (final score).
