Ένα πολύ όμορφος διαγωνισμός (Γερμανικός) διεξάγεται
αύριο και μεθαύριο κατά τον οποίο οι ευρωπαϊκοί σταθμοί καλούνται να επικοινωνήσουν
με DX σταθμούς (όχι ευρωπαϊκούς) σε CW. Ο διαγωνισμός αρχίζει 00:00 του Σαββάτου
(03:00 τοπική) και τελειώνει 23:59 (02:59 τοπική) το βράδυ της Κυριακής. Ευκαιρία
για μερικές μακρινές επαφές σε όλες τις μπάντες!!!

3 Categories
•
SINGLE-OP LOW
Max. output 100 watts - all bands. Only one signal
permitted at any time.
•
SINGLE-OP HIGH
Output higher than 100 watts - all bands. Only one
signal permitted at any time.
•
MULTI-OP
Band changes are allowed every 10 minutes; this includes all activities
of a main station, including QSO & QTC traffic and CQing.
Only exception:
Working of a multiplier. Other transmitters may be used in parallel to the main
station to work multipliers on other bands.
Notes:
•
Transmitters, receivers and antennas used in the contest must be located
within a 2 km diameter circle.
•
The use of DX spotting nets is allowed in all categories.
4 Off Times
Single Operator stations may only operate 36 out of the 48-hour contest
period.
Off times must be a minimum of 60 minutes during which no QSO is
logged..
5 Exchange
A contest QSO can only be conducted between a European and a
non-European station (exception: RTTY, see §12). The exchange consists of
RS/RST and a progressive serial number starting with 001. If the station worked
does not send a serial number, log the contact with number 000. Each station
can be credited only once per band.
6 Multiplier
For non-European stations the multiplier is the number of countries
defined in the WAE Country List (see below) worked per band.
For European stations every non-European DXCC entity counts as a
multiplier.
Exception: In the following countries up to ten numerical call
areas count as multipliers:
W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS, JA, PY and RA8/RA9 and RAØ --
without respect to their geographical location.
Examples: W1, K1, KA1 and K3../1 count as W1;
VE1, VO1 und VY1 count as
VE1;
JR4, 7M4 und 7K4 count as JA4;
ZL2 and ZL6 are two different
multipliers.
Multiplier bonus: Country multiplier points are "weighted" by
band. Multiply the number of countries worked on 3.5 MHz by four, on 7 MHz by
three, and on 14/21/28 MHz by two. The total multiplier is the sum of the
weighted multiplier points of all bands.
7 QTC Traffic
Additional points can be achieved by QTCs. A QTC is the report of a
contest QSO back to a European station (exception: RTTY, see §13).
The following rules apply:
a.
A QTC contains time, call sign and serial number of the reported QSO.
Example: "1307 DA1AA 431" means that DA1AA was worked at 1307 UTC and
sent serial number 431.
b.
Each QSO may only be reported once as a QTC. The QTC may not be reported
back to the original station.
c.
Every QTC that was correctly transferred, counts one point for the
sender and one point for the receiver.
d.
Two stations may exchange up to 10 QTCs maximum. The two stations may
establish contact several times to complete the quota.
e.
QTCs are transferred by means of QTC series. A QTC series is a block of
one (minimum) to ten (maximum) QTCs. QTC series are numbered using the
following scheme: The first figure is the progressive serial number starting
with one; the second figure denotes the number of QTCs in the series. Example:
"QTC 3/7" means this is the third QTC series transmitted by this
station and it contains seven QTCs.
f.
For every QTC series that is transmitted or received, the QTC number,
time and frequency band of the QTC transmission must be logged. If any of this
data is missing from your log, no credit will be given for this QTC series.
8 Scoring
The final score is the result of total QSOs plus QTCs on all bands
multiplied by the sum of all multipliers weighted by the band bonus factor (see
§6).
9 Disqualification
Violation of the rules of the contest or unsportsmanlike conduct will be
deemed sufficient cause for disqualification. The decisions of the
contest-committee are final.
10 Submissions
Logs need to be sent in STF or Cabrillo-Format to the following e-mail
address:
Be sure to put the station call sign into the subject of each message.
By submitting an electronic log, the participant claims to fully accept
the rules of the contest. A written declaration is not necessary.
Note: After
publication of the results all logs will be put into the DARC Contest Logbook (DCL).
Hand-written logs:
After the contest use a proper logging program or LM from DL8WAA to
enter your data.
If you do not have a computer, please ask a friend or family member to
import the log.
11 DX & Contest Club Competition
The club score is calculated by adding the final results of all
participating club members in all three WAE contests, excluding SWLs. To be
counted, the name of the club has to be indicated in the log on a separate
header line using the keyword "CLUB".
The club must not be an official national amateur radio club. For a club
to be listed, a minimum of three logs must be submitted.
A trophy is sponsored for the top DX (non-EU) and the top EU clubs.
For DL stations participating in the German DARC/VFDB-Clubmeisterschaft put your DOK in the log
on a separate header line using the keyword "SPECIFIC".
12 Special Rules for RTTY
In the RTTY portion of the WAEDC there are no continental limits;
everybody can work everybody. Only QTC traffic must be performed between
different continents.
Every station may send and receive QTCs. The sum of QTCs exchanged
between two stations (sent plus received) must not exceed 10 (ten).
The European and non-European multipliers indicated in §6 count for all
stations.
13 Log Deadline
Log deadline is always two weeks or, more specific, the third Monday after
the end of the contest.
CW: August 26; SSB: September 30; RTTY: November 25, 2013.
14 Criteria for WAEDC Awards and Plaques
Continental winners will receive a plaque. Printable online certificates
will be availabe for all stations on result publication.
Entries from countries split by numerical call areas for multiplier
reasons (see §6) will be listed according to their reported location within
their respective geographical call area.
Stations who activate a WAE country for the WAEDC from where no log was
received over the last three years will be recognized as "WAEDC Hero"
and receive a special prize. For 2013 these 10 countries are:
1AØ, 3A, HV, JW,
JW/b, JX, R1F, SV/A, YU8, ZB
Stations who have been in the Top-Ten/Top-Six list for at least five
times can apply for a special plaque.
The WAEDC committee reserves the right to honor special contest
activities with additional plaques.
