School Club Roundup Operating Rules
1. Exchange QSO info as below with any class of stations, but especially with
school stations.
2. The Operating Period for the Fall term is the third full school week of
October beginning at 1300 UTC and ending at 2400 UTC - October 19-23, 2009. The
Winter/Spring term event is Monday through Friday of the second full school
week of February beginning at 1300 UTC and ending at 2400 UTC. - February 8-12,
2010. You may operate no more than 6 hours out of 24 and you may not count more
than a total of 24 hours.
3. Entry Classes, single transmitter only:
(I) Individual or Single Operator (non-club);
(C) Club or multi-operator group (non-school);
(S) School club or group (grades K-12, colleges and universities). (Any
station operated at a school for the operating period. This includes any group
formed for the purpose of participating in the SCR.)
If multiple transmitters are used, such as for demonstration purposes, care
must be taken to include only the results from one at a time.
4. Exchange: Your call sign, RS (T), class (“Individualö, “Clubö or “Schoolö),
US State, Canadian Province or DXCC country. (Multi-operator group stations
must choose one call sign to use for the whole operating period.)
5. Scoring: Stations may be contacted once each on phone and CW (packet, RTTY
and other modes count as CW). No repeater contacts except satellite and “real
timeö packet. Count 1 point for each phone QSO and 2 points for each CW QSO.
Multiplier: [Number of US States plus Canadian Provinces plus DX countries]
plus 2× [“Cö class QSOs] plus 5× [“Sö class QSOs]. School stations and Marty,
KA2NRR get a multiplier of 5, which should make them the most desirable
stations to work. (KA2NRR was the founding Chairman of the CAAR/NYCS and
creator of the contest that became the SCR is counted as an S class contact.)
Final score: Multiply QSO points by multiplier. Please use our summary form to
avoid errors, especially if this is your first time in the SCR (see 6 below).
Suggested frequencies: All amateur bands except 60, 30, 17 and 12 meters are
permitted. On VHF and UHF, repeaters are not to be used. Only recognized
simplex frequencies may be used. US examples include 144.90-145.00; 146.49,
.55, 58; and 147.42, .45, .48, .51, .54 and .57 MHz. The national calling
frequency, 146.52 MHz, may not be used. Similar restrictions apply in other
countries.
