OBJECT:
Stations outside of Oklahoma work as many Oklahoma stations in as many Oklahoma
counties as
possible.
Stations in Oklahoma work anyone.
EXCHANGE:
Stations outside of Oklahoma send signal report and State, Canadian Province,
or DX.
Oklahoma stations send signal report and county. Oklahoma stations working
other Oklahoma
stations will be logging the
other station's county, and that station's county counts as a multiplier.
Entries with incomplete or improperly logged QSOs will be subject to penalties
or
disqualification.
QSO POINTS:
Each complete non-duplicate Phone contact is worth 2 points.
Each complete non-duplicate Digital/CW contact is worth 3 points.
No partial contact credit.
MULTIPLIERS:
All non-Oklahoma stations use Oklahoma counties for a maximum of 77.
Oklahoma stations count U.S. states (50), Canadian Provinces (9), and Oklahoma
Counties
(77)
for a possible total of 136 multipliers.
SCORE:
The total score is the total number of QSO points multiplied by the total
number of
multipliers.

RULES:
All stations may be worked once per mode (phone or cw/digital) per band.
All contacts must be simplex.
Oklahoma rovers that change counties are considered to be a new station and
may
be contacted again for point and multiplier credit.
A rover operates from any temporary location using temporary antennas.
It is not permitted for a participant to be using more than 1 transmitter at a
time
(operating on
more than 1 band with more than 1 transmitter simultaneously).
Net contacts are not allowed.
AWARDS:
A plaque will be issued to the highest scoring station, with a minimum of 100
contacts
in the log, from each of the 13 class entries, plus, in the case of the
Non-Oklahoma
categories, the 2nd Place finisher in the SOLP and SOHP will receive a plaque
as well.
A plaque will be awarded for the highest cw/digital score, regardless of
overall
standing(s).
Certificates of participation will be given to all Oklahoma and non-Oklahoma
entries that
do not win a plaque.
ENTRIES:
Entries must be submitted no later than April 30th.
Computer logs should be submitted by e-mail to OKQP Logs. Logs should be named
with
your call (ex: k5yaa.log). ADIF or CABRILLO formatted files are preferred.

individuals, etc.

Thank You!
LOGGING PROGRAM SUPPORT AND RESOURCES:
Some of the members of the OKDXA have made efforts to provide multiplier and
configurations
files with brief "How to use" suggestion files for some of the more popular
logging
programs. Files for your particular logging application are available by
clicking one of
the following links. It should be mentioned that none of the contest logging
programs below
have updated their configurations to reflect the change which allows OK
stations to count
Oklahoma counties as multipliers EXCEPT N3FJP. Only N3FJP tabulates the score
correctly. If
you use any of the other programs, you would/should use manual scoring to
arrive at your
final score.
