The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) cordially is inviting to the
25th O R I G I N A L - Q R P - C O N T E S T ( OQRPC )
-----------------------------------------------------------
The contest idea is to promote creative or unconventional QRP-hamming like
homebrewing or just doing it without your usual 'luxurious' QRO equipment.
This event more than other contests has a meeting character.
The result lists show that many operators are taking part only for just an
hour or two with a singleband homebrew rig without any intention of high
scoring or even winning.
But if they want to prove that QRP operators may be keen operators they are
invited to do so as well.
- . . . -
Participants: Operators of original QRP rig, commercial or homebrew,
including QRP rig exceeding 5w output like IC-703, SG 2020,
FT-7, K2 e.a. and QRP-versions of industrial
QRO-transceivers like TS-130 V, FT-707S etc..
Stations with QRO-equipment (>20W out) temporarily reduced
to QRP will be listed as checklog.
Date: 27 / 28 - D E C E M B E R - 2 0 0 8
-------------------------------------
Time: Saturday 1500 UTC till Sunday 1500 UTC,
9 hours minimum rest period in one or two parts.
More pauses as you like but the two longest breaks together
need to be at least 9 hours long
Frequencies: CW segments of the 80-, 40-, and 20m band.
Call: CQ OQRP (= Original QRP)
Categories: V L P (1W out or 2W in) Q R P (5W out or 10W in)
M P (20W out or 40W in) (No QRO-category)
Operation: Single-op CW. Various TX/TRX may be operated,
but only one at the same time.
Exchange: RST, serial-no./ category e.g. 559001/VLP.
Exchange of RST is sufficient with stations not in contest.
QSO-Points: The log checker will count 4 points for a qso with another
contest station whose log has come in.
All other QSO count 1 point.
NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW: HANDMADE - BONUS
--------------------------------------------------
Promoting the creative aspects of QRP the usage of equipment
homemade by the operator will be rewarded by a 15% bonus of QSO points
for a TX or TRX assembled from a kit, and by a 30% bonus for an unique
individual handmade TX or TRX.
The Handmade Bonus may be claimed for single bands
while commercial equipment was used on the remaining band(s).
Options for claiming Handmade Bonus points are prepared on the
summary sheet specimen on .
Otherwise (e-logs) the operator has to give a declaration like:
"In the QQRPC I used a kit assembled / an indvidual unique TX resp.TRX
built by myself on 80m / 40m / 20m".
(Please delete as applicable)
Multiplier: The log checker will count 2 multiplier points for each
DXCC-country (+ IT9) from a qso with a station whose log has
come in. Otherwise each DXCC-country counts 1 MP point.
Final score: Sum of QSO-points multiplied by the sum of multiplier
points. (Calculated by the log checker. Don't try an own
calculation: you cannot foresee who will send his log and
who will not).
So every log is welcome and important, even just 3 QSO on a picture
postcard
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logs: e-mail logs for electronic checking if possible in STF- or
Cabrillo format to
oqrpc@qrpcc.de
The Windows-version of LM (DL8WAA) is recommended
for turning "ugly" paper logs into e-mail logs.
Please mention your callsign in the subject line e.g.:
"25th OQRPC log by G9XYZ" !
Don't forget possibly to apply for Homemade Bonus points.
In paper logs list QSO sorted bandwise, please.
(Otherwise you might find your log listed as checklog!)
Add the DXCC prefix if you claim a multiplier for a QSO.
You can download a log example at
oqrp.pdf
See for further infos and
log-details .
Summary sheet:
The use of the specimen on http://www.qrpcc.de
is very much recommended.
In any case your summary sheet has to show name, address,
callsign and 9 hours minimum rest periods.
Indicate the types of all TX/TRX used with out- or input on
each band according to manufacturer or measured under
contest conditions. Homebrew TX/TRXs description at least
should name the basic principle (e.g. superheterodyne with
IF or "straight set" like VFO-BU-PA) with pa transistor or
-tube and possibly a reference (e.g. SPRAT No.&page)
Deadline: 31-JAN-09 to: Dr. Hartmut Weber, DJ7ST, Schlesierweg 13,
D-38228 SALZGITTER, Germany.
