RSGB 80m Club Championship 2009
A series of short weekday evening contests on 80m, based around competition
between affiliated societies. Individual scores in every event count towards a
society(s) overall score so its important for the contest organiser to get
members to come on in as many sessions and as many modes as possible. A rolling
club listing will be maintained on the HFCC web page www.rsgbhfcc.org.
From February 2009, entries must be submitted to the Robot. See rule 4
New rules apply to the datamode events for 2009. See rule 3
The general rules apply to this contest
Dates: Jan to July 2009 (See Calendar for Specific Dates)
Time: 20:00-21:30 UTC (Jan, Feb, Mar) - 19:00-20:30 UTC (Apr, May, Jun, July)
Mode: CW SSB Datamodes, see table
Exchange: RS(T) + serial number
1. Sections: LOW - 100W maximum power at the transmitter output; QRP - 10W
maximum power at the transmitter output.
Entrants may change section from one event to another. Stations may be single
or multi-operator.
2. Frequencies: CW 3.520-3.570 (QRS Corral around 3.560); SSB 3.600-3.650 &
3.700-3775; Datamodes 3.580-3.620.
** - Note: The frequency segment 3580 to 3585kHz is reserved for PSK operation
- stations operating PSK should transmit only between these limits.Stations
operating RTTY should not attempt to make QSOs in this 5kHz segment.
3. Scoring: One point per.contact. An entrant may be contacted once per session
on cw or ssb, and twice on datamodes (once on RTTY, once on PSK). For cw and
ssb, the final score will be normalised to the leading score in the section,
with the leading score being awarded 1000 points and all other scores expressed
in proportion.
In the datamodes contests, contact may be on RTTY or PSK only. The same station
may be worked on both RTTY and PSK, and an entrant's score on each mode (RTTY
and PSK) is normalised to the leader on that mode. For each entrant, the two
mode scores are then added together and the sum again normalised, so that the
leading overall score in each section is awarded 1000 points and all other
scores are expressed in proportion.
A UK station is required to be at one or both ends of a QSO for it to be
valid.
The Cabrillo Mode Codes are as follows - See an example of 80m Club
Championship Contest log. RTTY - RY and PSK - PS.
4. Entries: Each session is a contest in its own right, and log entries must be
emailed within seven days of the contest. Entries must be in Cabrillo format,
see here for information on preparing a Cabrillo entry. In order to count
towards the total for an affiliated society, the society name must be clearly
indicated on the entry. Societies may wish to appoint a coordinator who can
ensure that entries contain all required information and are submitted on time.
Starting in February 2009, the log entry Robot must be used to submit entries.
The Robot page is located here and FAQs for the use of the Robot are here.
If problems occur with Robot submission which cannot be resolved, the following
email addresses may be used to submit entries:
CW Events - cccw.logs@rsgbhfcc.org SSB Events - ccssb.logs@rsgbhfcc.org
Data Events - ccdata.logs@rsgbhfcc.org

5. Awards: At the end of the programme in August, the affiliated society whose
members have made the highest aggregate score will receive the G5RV trophy, and
the second- and third-placed societies will be awarded certificates. The
individual stations making the top three QSO totals on each mode in the 100W
and 10W sections will receive a certificate. The Foundation and Intermediate
licensees with the top three highest aggregate scores on each mode will receive
a certificate.
Note: There are no 80m events on Tuesdays, to leave a space for the associated
UKAC events organised by the VHFCC. Unlike the AFS contests there is no
distance rule, but societies may be asked to confirm that all entrants are bona
fide club members. Individual entrants may only operate on behalf of one
Affiliated Society in any one event.
In order that scores can be published quickly on the web site, all entries must
be via email and this is where a society(s) contest organiser can help, by
assisting members to prepare their entries.
SD by EI5DI fully supports all RSGB Contests.
Note that the 80m datamodes sessions should be logged in SD as CW, and the
'Data' option chosen when preparing the Cabrillo entry file using SDCHECK.
