Worked All Germany (WAG) Contest
Rules
DL1DTL 22/09/2008
The Deutscher Amateur-Radio-Club (DARC) has the honour to invite amateurs all over the world to participate in the annual Worked All Germany Contest.
1. Contest periods:
October, third full weekend,
1500 UTC Saturday to 1459 UTC Sunday
2008: 18./19. October
2009: 17./18. October
2. Modes and bands:
SSB, CW: 3,5 - 7 - 14 - 21 - 28 MHz
According to IARU Region I regulations and from experience in 2006 and 2007 to reduce interference with the participants of JOTA contest operation is not allowed in the following contest-free sections:
80m: CW - 3560 - 3800 kHz, SSB – 3650 – 3700 kHz
40m: SSB – 7080 – 7140 kHz
20m: CW - 14060 - 14350 kHz, SSB – 14100 – 14125 kHz und 14280 – 14350 kHz
15m: SSB – 21350 – 21450 kHz
10m: SSB – 28225 – 28400 kHz
3. Categories:
- Single operator, CW, low power
- Single operator, CW, high power
- Single operator, mixed, low power
- Single operator, mixed, high power
- Single operator, mixed, QRP
- Multi operator
- SWL, single operator
Output power: QRP = up to 5 watts, low power = up to 100 watts,
high power = more than 100 watts
For Multi operator Band changes are allowed every ten minutes; Exception: working of new multiplier (other transmitters may be used in parallel to the main station to work multipliers on other bands, this means, several signals may be on the air on different bands at the same time).
Note: DX cluster support is allowed for all categories.
Note: Only one signal permitted at any time (exception: multi operator).
4. Exchange:
A contest QSO can only be established between non-German and German stations and also between German stations.
Non-German stations give the usual RS/RST + serial number. German stations give RS/RST + DOK (local area code). If the station worked does not send a serial number, log the contact with number 000. A station may be worked once per band per mode.
5. Multipliers:
The multiplier for Non-German stations is determined by the number of German districts worked on each band regardless of mode. The German district is indicated by the first letter of the DOK. >From special DOKs (two or more letter/figure or figure/letter combinations) only the first letter counts. Thus a maximum of 26 multipliers per band is possible (letters A ...Z). German stations use the current DXCC-entity-/WAE-country-list. Each entity/country counts one multiplier per band regardless of mode.
6. Scoring:
Each complete exchange counts 3 points for non-German stations. German stations get one point for QSO with an other German station, 3 points for an European station and 5 points for a DX-station. The final score is computed by multiplying the total number of QSO points by the sum of multipliers from all bands.
7. Contest awards:
Certificates will be awarded to every participant as PDF-file for self-printing.
8. Disqualification:
Violation of the rules of the contest, or unsportsmanlike conduct will be deemed sufficend cause for disqualification.
9. Logs:
The log-file is to be submitted in the DARC-STF or in the Cabrillo format by E-Mail to the following address: wag
Be sure to put the station callsign in the subject line of each message.
new The receipt of the log will be automatically confirmed by an email.
By submitting the log, the participant claims to fully accept the rules of the contest.
10. Special regulations for SWLs:
All SWLs get one point (SSB) or three points (CW) for logging each new German station with the sent RS/RST + DOK and the call of the station working with the German station. The multiplier is determined by the sum of German districts (first letter of DOK - see point 5) heard on each band. Each German station may be counted once in SSB and once in CW on each band.
11. Deadline for log entries:
November 20th
