Αναλυτικά:
I.
OBJECTIVE: For amateurs around the world to contact as many other amateurs in
as many CQ zones and countries as possible.
II. BANDS: Six bands only: 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz.
Observance of established band plans is strongly encouraged.
III. CONTEST EXCHANGE: SSB: RS report plus CQ Zone number of
the station location (e.g., 59 05). CW: RST report plus CQ Zone (e.g., 599 05).
IV. SCORING:
A. Score: The final score is the result of the total QSO
points multiplied by the sum of zone and country multipliers. Example: 1000 QSO
points * (30 Zones + 70 Countries) = 100,000 (final score).
B. QSO Points: Stations may be contacted once on each band.
QSO points are based on the location of the station worked.
1. Contacts between stations on different continents count
three (3) points.
2. Contacts between stations on the same continent but in
different countries count one (1) point. Exception: Contacts between stations
in different countries within the North American boundaries count two (2)
points.
3. Contacts between stations in the same country have zero
(0) QSO point value, but are permitted for zone or country multiplier credit.
C. Multiplier: There are two types of multipliers.
1. Zone: A multiplier of one (1) for each different CQ Zone
contacted on each band. The CQ Worked All Zones rules are the standard.
2. Country: A multiplier of one (1) for each different
country contacted on each band. The DXCC entity list, Worked All Europe (WAE)
multiplier list plus IG9/IH9, and WAC boundaries are standards. Maritime mobile
stations count only for a zone multiplier.
V. ENTRY CATEGORIES:
A. Single Operator Categories: One person (the operator)
performs all operating and logging functions. There is no limit on operating
time or band changes. Only one transmitted signal is permitted at any time.
1. Single Operator: QSO alerting assistance of any kind is
prohibited (see VIII.2).
a. High Power (All Band or Single Band): Total output power
must not exceed 1500 watts.
b. Low Power (All Band or Single Band): Total output power
must not exceed 100 watts.
c. QRP (All Band or Single Band): Total output power must
not exceed 5 watts.
2. Single Operator Assisted: Entrants in this category may
use QSO alerting assistance (see VIII.2).
a. High Power Assisted (All Band or Single Band): Total
output power must not exceed 1500 watts.
b. Low Power Assisted (All Band or Single Band): Total
output power must not exceed 100 watts.
c. QRP Assisted (All Band or Single Band): Total output
power must not exceed 5 watts.
B. Single Operator Overlay Categories: Any Single Operator
All Band entrant above may ALSO submit his/her log for one of the categories
shown below by adding the appropriate CATEGORY-OVERLAY line in the Cabrillo log
file header. Overlay category entries will be listed separately in the results;
grouped by high power and low power.
1. Classic Operator (CLASSIC): The entrant will use only one
radio, no QSO alerting assistance, and may operate up to 24 of the 48 hours –
off times are a minimum of 60 minutes during which no QSO is logged. If the log
shows more than 24 hours of operation, only the first 24 hours will be counted
for the overlay score. The one radio must not be able to receive while
transmitting.
2. Rookie (ROOKIE): The operator was first licensed as a
radio amateur less than three (3) years before the date of the contest.
Indicate the date first licensed in the SOAPBOX field.
C. Multi-Operator Categories (all-band operation only): Any
number of operators is allowed. QSO alerting assistance is allowed. Only one
transmitted signal per band is permitted at any time. Total output power must
not exceed 1500 watts on any band at any time.
1. Single Transmitter (MULTI-ONE): Only one transmitted
signal on one band permitted during any 10-minute period (run transmitter).
Exception: One — and only one — other transmitted signal (multiplier
transmitter) may be used during any 10-minute period, if — and only if — it is
on a different band than the run transmitter and the station worked is a new
multiplier. The run and multiplier transmitters are governed by independent
10-minute rules. Ten-minute periods begin with the first QSO on a band. The log
must indicate which transmitter (run or multiplier) made each QSO. The
multiplier transmitter may not call CQ (solicit contacts).
2. Two Transmitters (MULTI-TWO): A maximum of two
transmitted signals on two different bands may be used at any time. The log must
indicate which transmitter made each QSO. Each transmitter may make a maximum
of 8 band changes in any clock hour (00 through 59 minutes).
3. Multi-Transmitter (MULTI-UNLIMITED): The six contest
bands may be activated simultaneously. Only one transmitted signal per band is
permitted at any time.
D. Checklog: Entry submitted to assist with the log
checking. The entry will not have a score in the results and the log will not
be made public.
VI. AWARDS:
A single-band log will be eligible for a single-band award
only. A log containing more than one band will be judged as an all-band entry
unless specified as a single-band entry. A Single Operator station must operate
a minimum of 4 hours to be eligible for an award. Multi-operator stations must
operate a minimum of 8 hours to be eligible for an award.
A. Certificates: First-place certificates will be awarded in
each category for every participating country and in each call area of the
United States, Canada, Russia, and Japan.
B. Plaques: Plaques and trophies are awarded for top
performance in a number of categories. View the current list of plaques and
sponsors at <www.cqww.com/plaques.htm>. Only one plaque will be awarded
per entry. A station winning a plaque will not be considered for a sub-area award;
the plaque will be awarded to the runner-up in that area.
VII. CLUB COMPETITION:
The club score is the total aggregate score from logs
submitted by members. There are two separate club competition categories.
A. USA Clubs: Participation is limited to club members
living and operating within a 175
mile radius circle from the center of club area (except
for DXpeditions to other countries conducted by members who live within the
club circle).
B. DX Clubs: Participation is limited to club members living
and operating within the DXCC country where the club is located OR within a 275 km radius circle from
the center of club area (except for DXpeditions to other countries conducted by
members who live within the club area).
C. General club rules:
1. National organizations (e.g., JARL, REF or DARC) are not
eligible for the club competition.
2. Single-operator entries may only contribute to one club.
Multi-operator scores may be allocated to multiple clubs as a percentage of the
number of club members participating in the operation. The log entry must spell
out the full club name (and club allocations if multi-op).
3. A
minimum of four logs must be received for a club to be listed in the results.
Checklog entries are not counted for the club score.
VIII. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS:
1. Station location: The area in which all the transmitters,
receivers and antennas are located. All transmitters and receivers must be
within a single 500-meter diameter circle. Antennas must be physically
connected by RF transmission lines to the transmitters and receivers.
2. QSO alerting assistance: The use of any technology or
other source that provides call sign or multiplier identification along with
frequency information to the operator. It includes, but is not limited to, use
of DX cluster, packet, local or remote call sign and frequency decoding
technology (e.g., CW Skimmer or Reverse Beacon Network), or operating
arrangements involving other individuals.
IX. GENERAL RULES FOR ALL ENTRANTS:
1. Entrants must operate within the limits of their chosen
category when performing any activity that could impact their submitted score.
2. A
different call sign must be used for each entry. Only the entrant’s call sign
may be used to aid the entrant’s score.
3. Do not exceed the total output power limitation of the
chosen entry category on any band. Total output power on any band at any time
is measured at the output of the active amplifier(s).
4. Self-spotting or asking to be spotted is not permitted.
5. Remote operation is permitted if the physical location of
all transmitters, receivers, and antennas are at one station location. A
remotely operated station must obey all station license, operator license, and
category limitations.
6. Remote receivers outside the station location are not
permitted.
7. Only one signal on a band is allowed at any time. When
two or more transmitters are present on the same band, a hardware device MUST
be used to prevent more than one signal at any one time. Alternating CQs on two
or more frequencies on a band is not permitted.
8. All requests for contacts, responses to calls, and
copying of call signs and contest exchanges must be accomplished during the
contest period using the mode and frequencies of the contest.
9. Correction of logged call signs and exchanges after the
contest by using any database, recordings, email or other methods of confirming
QSOs is not allowed.
10. Call signs logged must be the same as those exchanged
over the air by the entrants during the QSO.
X. LOG INSTRUCTIONS:
Electronic submission of logs is required for all entrants
who use a computer to log the contest or prepare contest logs.
1. The log MUST show the following for each contact: correct
date and time in UTC, frequency (or band), call sign of the station worked,
exchange sent, and exchange received. A log without all required information
may be reclassified to Checklog. Contacts should be logged immediately as they
are completed. Stations competing for World and Continent awards should provide
accurate frequencies for all contacts in the log.
2. Single band entrants are required to include all contacts
made during the contest period, even if on other bands. Only contacts made on
the band specified in the Cabrillo header or summary sheet will be considered
for scoring purposes. Logs with contacts only on one band will be classified as
single band entries.
3. The CABRILLO file format is the standard for logs. See
<www.cqww.com/cabrillo.htm> for detailed instructions on filling out the
CABRILLO file header. Failure to fill out the header correctly may result in
the entry being placed in the wrong category or reclassified as a Checklog.
Note: U.S. stations must indicate the station location in the CABRILLO header
(e.g., LOCATION: OH).
4. E-mail or Web upload is the expected method of log submission.
SSB logs in CABRILLO format should be sent to
ssb@cqww.com.
CW logs in CABRILLO format should be sent to
cw@cqww.com.
Include only the entry call sign in the “Subject:” line of the e-mail. Web
upload of logs is available at <
www.cqww.com/logcheck/>.
All logs received will be confirmed via e-mail. A listing of logs received can
be found at www.cqww.com.
5. Instructions for NON-CABRILLO electronic logs: If you are
not able to submit a CABRILLO format log, please contact the Contest Director
for assistance with submitting another format.
6. Instructions for paper logs: Paper logs may be mailed to
CQ WW DX Contest, P.O. Box 481, New Carlisle, OH 45344, USA. Each paper log
entry must be accompanied by a Summary Sheet listing all scoring information,
the category of competition, and the entrant’s name and mailing address in
BLOCK LETTERS.
XI. LOG DEADLINE:
1. All entries must be sent WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS after the
end of the contest: no later than 2359 UTC November 1, 2013 for SSB and 2359
UTC November 29, 2013 for CW. Resubmitting an entry after the deadline will
result in it being considered as a late log.
2. An extension may be requested by e-mail to
questions@cqww.com. The request must state
a legitimate reason and must be received before the log deadline. Extensions
are granted only upon confirmation by the Contest Director.
3. Logs submitted or postmarked after the deadline may be
listed in the results, but are not eligible for awards.
XII. JUDGING:
The CQ WW DX Contest Committee is responsible for checking
and adjudicating the contest entries. Entrants are expected to follow the rules
and best amateur radio practices. Violation of the rules of the contest or
unsportsmanlike conduct may lead to disciplinary action by the Committee.
A. Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Examples of unsportsmanlike
conduct include, but are not limited to:
1. ARRANGING or CONFIRMING any contacts during the contest
by use of ANY non-amateur radio means such as telephones, Internet, instant
messaging, chat rooms, VoIP, social media or web sites.
2. Transmissions by the entrant on frequencies outside of
license limitations.
3. Changing times in the log to meet band change or off time
rules.
4. Taking credit for excessive unverifiable QSOs or
unverifiable multipliers.
5. Signals with excessive bandwidth (e.g., splatter, clicks)
or harmonics on other bands.
B. Observer Program: The Committee may request of any
entrant to accept a visit by an observer during the contest. Failure to allow a
Committee appointed observer full access to the station during the contest
period may result in the entry being disqualified.
C. Disciplinary Actions: In the event of a violation, the
entrant is subject to disqualification at the discretion of the Committee.
1. DISQUALIFICATION: Entry will be listed at the end of the
published results and is not eligible for an award.
2. Notification of Committee actions will be sent by email
to the address provided with the log submission. The entrant has five days to
appeal the decision to the Contest Director. After that time the decision is
final.
3. An entrant may withdraw the submitted log for any reason
within 30 days of the log deadline. Contact the Contest Director for
instructions.
4. The Committee reserves the right to change the category
of any entry based on its examination of the log or other information.
D. Log Checking: All logs are checked using custom software
and human judgment.
1. Duplicate contacts are removed with no additional
penalty.
2. Contacts with an incorrectly received exchange are
removed with no additional penalty.
3. Call sign errors or call signs not found in the other log
are removed and receive a penalty of two times the QSO point value for that
contact.
4. Contacts that do not meet the band change rules for
multi-operator entries are removed with no additional penalty.
XIII. DECLARATION:
By submitting a CQ WW DX Contest log, and in consideration
of the efforts of the CQ WW DX Contest Committee to review and evaluate that
log, an entrant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that he/she has: 1) read
and understood the rules of the contest and agrees to be bound by them, 2)
operated according to all rules and regulations that pertain to amateur radio
for the station location, 3) agreed the log entry may be made open to the
public, and 4) accepted that the issuing of disqualifications and other decisions
of the Committee are official and final. If an entrant is unwilling or unable
to agree to all of the foregoing, the entrant should not submit the entry or
submit the entry as a Checklog only.
