ABOUT THE CONTEST: We organize this international contest, using the rules and our rich experiance from the domestic Bulgarian competitions. No unusefull information sent or received, no multipliers, no mistakes. 100% check of all the contacts. In this contest the exchange of the call signs does not mean that the contact is over. You still have to send and receive 6 figures WITH NO MISTAKE !!! High tempo non stop. The correspondents never end. You are allowed to work the same station up to 16 times durring the contest period. Our system of creating the control numbers is unique and has been used in all the domestic Bulgarian competitions since 1975. We are glad to see that it is well accepted outside Bulgaria.
We wish you good luck in the LZ OPEN CONTEST 2009!!
