The Great Colorado Gold Rush
July 19, 2009
It was 1859 before CW. It was 1859 before spark. It was 1859 before our time
was taken away with "reality" television, DVD's, cell phones, and email. It
was 1859 before daylight saving time. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the
"real" world. This mid-summer event might just build your WAS, DXCC, and
provide you with some operating pleasure. Be a part of history! Are you
certified at 65 WPM? Good for you. Are you happy at 8 WPM? That is just fine
too. Just get on and work someone!
Nuts 'n Bolts:
Time: July 19, 2009 - 2000 through 2159 UTC
(Sunday afternoon, North America)
Band: 20 meters only (on or around 14.060 MHz - please spread out as needed).
Mode: CW only.
Call: try CQ CGR
Power: 5 W maximum.
Classifications:
W - WIRE: single element wire; including dipoles, random wires, Zepp,
doublets, inverted V, slopers, single element loops, inverted L, etc.
V - VERTICAL: verticals; including single element, ground plane, trapped
vertical, or anything with vertical polarization and more or less
omnidirectional pattern.
B - BEAM: multi-element arrays/beams; including beams, multi-element loops,
phased verticals, V-beam, rhombic, etc.
P - PORTABLE: non-mobile temporary field station; may use any type of
antenna.
Exchange: RST + SPC + Class + CQC Member # -or- Power Output. (SPC = State,
Province, or Country)
Example: 559 CO V 132 -or- 559 CO V 5W
Multiple contacts:
The same station may be worked up to three times during the contest,
provided a minimum of 30 minutes has elapsed
since the last QSO with the same station.
Scoring:
3 points for first contact with a station.
2 points for second contact with the same station.
1 point for third contact with the same station.
100 points, one time only, for working club station WØCQC. The second
contact with WØCQC, after half an hour,
is 2 points, while the third contact is worth 1 point (Al Dawkins, KØFRP,
will be operating club station WØCQC from
Colorado during the contest...).
Multipliers:
All multipliers count once. Multipliers are SPC’s and CQC members worked.
Final Score:
QSO Points x SPC x CQC Members = Total Score.
Logs:
Submit logs showing time, callsign worked, exchange, and QSO points for each
station worked, show totals of multiplier points.
Example:
Time Call Sign SPC RST/RST Antenna Member or Power QSO Points
2004 WØCQC Colorado 579/579 V 132 100
2011 KH6JDO Hawaii 439/559 W 5 3
