* (B) TIME GMT. A full four figure GMT time must be sent as part of each message.
QSO Points
Each completed QSO scores one point. Stations may be contacted again on other bands.
Multipliers
All DXCC countries (including JA, W, VE and VK) and all JA, W, VE and VK areas count as multipliers on each band. Any country or JA, W, VE or VK area may be counted again if worked on a different band, but continents are counted once only. U.S. stations must use correct call or suffix for area of operation.
Scoring
QSO points x multipliers x continents (max 6).
Log Submission
Logs must be submitted in Cabrillo format by e-mail to: ska@bartg.demon.co.uk
The contest name in your log must read BARTG-RTTY. The correct Cabrillo format can be found in the sample log on the BARTG website.
SWL logs will be accepted as plain ASCII text files showing date, band, callsign/message sent by claimed station and callsign of station worked, in chronological order, together with a summary file showing scoring and full name and address of entrant.
Any incomplete entries will be classified as check logs.
E-Mail
The subject line of your e-mail entry must include your callsign and class entered e.g. GW4SKA SOAB. Any SOAB6 entrants who do not put SOAB6 in the subject line of their e-mail will automatically be classed as full SOAB entrants. Logs should be sent as an attachment (NOT zipped please) named (yourcall).log e.g. GW4SKA.log.
ALL LOGS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1st MAY 2008 IN ORDER TO QUALIFY.
The judge's decision will be final and no correspondence can be entered into in respect of incorrect or late entries.
All logs submitted shall remain the property of the BRITISH AMATEUR RADIO TELEDATA GROUP. Trophies will be awarded to category winners. Certificates will be awarded to the top three stations in each category, the top five SOAB entrants in each continent and to the top SOAB entrant in each JA, W, VE, and VK area.
