Midwintercontest rules
The Dutch YL Committee organizes this HF-contest every year in the second full weekend of January, which is January 10 and 11 in 2009. The contest time is as following:
Saturday 10 January - CW - 14.00-18.00 utc and Sunday 11 January - SSB – 10.00-14.00 utc.
Bands: 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10-meterband (no crossband). To make your calls in SSB pse use the following frequency segments: 3.600-3.650, 7.080-7.090, 14.270-14.300, 21.270-21.300, 28.470-28.500 Mhz. This is useful so you will sooner meet other conteststations instead of scanning the entire contest-segment for YL's.
Only single stations and single operators can participate in this contest. There are 5 categories in which you can participate: YL SSB, YL CW, OM SSB, OM CW, SWL.
Procedure:
In SSB YL's call 'CQ midwintercontest', and OM's call 'CQ YL's'. In CW pse use 'CQ OMS' or 'CQ YLS', to avoid any mixups with OM and YL countries.
Exchange:
Call, RS(T) and sequence number. OM's start with 001 and YL's start with 2001. Both SSB and CW part should start with 001/2001.
Points:
Every QSO with a YL=5 points
Every QSO with an OM=3 points
Qso's from OM to Om donnot count for points or multipliers!
Qso with PI4YLC counts for 15 points, the clubstation will be active on both days on several bands.
A station can be worked once on every band. Qso from OM to OM = 0 points!
For example: PA3YLC may be worked on Saturday in CW on 80, 40 and 20 meterband and on Sunday in SSB on 80, 20, 15 and 10 meterband. For the CW part this will count for 3x5=15 qso points and for the SSB part 4x5=20 qso points.
Multiplier:
Every worked DXCC-country counts as multiplier (that is the total number of countries on all bands for CW or SSB, not per band).
For example: If you work I, DL and F on 20 meterband and DL, OH and G on 15 meterband, that would make 5 multipliers (not six).
Total score: points of all bands together times multipliers.
SWL's:
Every heard YL counts for 5 points, PI4YLC counts for 15 points, multipliers as above. The log should also contain the qso partner.
Log:
For CW and SSB seperate logs and seperate points!
The log should also contain : time, band, date and yl or om.
Logs that are not filled in right, unclear or unreadable can be ignored by the manager and if so do not compete as contestlog.
In every category, places 1,2 and 3 will be rewarded with a certificate. If there are less then 10 participants in the category only number 1 will receive a certificate!
Logs should be send before 15 february 2009 (date postmark), preferably by Email or to the following post address:
