7th Call Area QSO Party -- May 2-3, 2009
1300 UTC Saturday to 0700 UTC Sunday (6 AM to midnight PDT the first Saturday
in May). 7th call area stations work everyone, others work 7th area stations
only. Work stations once per band/mode. 7th area mobiles (and those
participating in other concurrent QSO parties or contests) may be worked again
as they enter new counties. Rule changes are shown in bold italic.
Entry categories:
* Single-op: high-power, low-power <150W, QRP <5W; CW, Phone, Digital,
Mixed
* Multi-single (including assisted single-op): High, low and QRP
* Multi-multi. No differentiated mode or power levels
* 7th-area County Expedition: single-op, multi-single, multi-multi
* Mobile: high-power, low-power, QRP; CW, Phone, Digital, Mixed
Awards: Certificates will be awarded to the top three finishers in each
category within and outside the 7th call area, plus the top finisher in each
state/province and 7th area county; a 25-QSO minimum applies. See the web
site for a list of plaques to be awarded.
Exchange: 7th area stations send signal report plus 5-letter state/county code
(e.g. ORDES; see list). County-line stations send multiple codes, e.g.
UTRIC/IDBEA (state code needed only once, e.g. ORDES/JEF). Non-7th-area
stations send signal report plus state/province/"DX" two-letter codes.
Stations in other QSO parties send their appropriate exchange. "Provinces"
are VE1-9, VO and VY0-2. County-line contacts may be logged with one entry
showing all counties or with one QSO entry for each county.
Bands: 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, 6 and 2m, simplex only. Suggested operating
frequencies: 1815 and 40 kHz up on CW; 1845, 3855, 7235, 14255, 21355 and 28455
on SSB. Check 80m at 0500Z, 160m at 0530Z. All CW and Digital contacts
must be in the CW/Data sub-bands.
Scoring: 2 points per SSB QSO, 3 points per CW or Digital QSO. County-line
contacts count as multiple QSOs for both stations. 7th area stations
multiply QSO points by states (50) plus provinces (13) plus other DXCC entities
(maximum 10). Non-7th-area stations multiply QSO points by 7th area counties
worked (259).
Logs: All logs must be received by June 5; logs containing more than 40 QSOs
must be submitted electronically via email or floppy disk. Send logs to
7qplogs@codxc.org -- include the station callsign in the email "Subject" line.
Cabrillo preferred (7QP details here) but any plain text format will be
accepted. A web form is available for online Cabrillo log-file generation
and submission. Be sure your entry includes name and address and/or email
address, station callsign, entry category, location code(s) and operator
callsigns. Send paper logs with a completed summary sheet to 7th Call Area
QSO Party, c/o CODXC, 61255 Ferguson Rd, Bend, OR 97702. Check to make sure
your callsign appears on our web site's Received Logs page (normally within two
days of receipt).
Other: All equipment and antennas must lie within a 1000-foot diameter circle.
A county expedition is an operation from a temporary location using antennas
installed for the contest period, using temporary antenna supports or trees.
Mobile stations must be self-contained and capable of motion. Any
computer-to-computer mode is considered digital. The same station may be
worked on each band on CW, Phone, and Digital. All contacts must be made
without using repeaters, digipeaters, satellites, etc.
Help: On the web site at http://7qp.org are the complete rules; lists of county
names and abbreviations: state/county maps; county sign-up sheet; summary
sheet; state coordinators; logging-program info and configuration files; list
of plaques and donors.
