Arizona QSO Party Rules
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 08 April 2009 12:28
Objective: Contact old friends, make new friends, and have fun! Join the party!
Stations outside Arizona (AZ) contact as many AZ stations as possible. Arizona
(AZ) stations, activating as many counties as possible, contact everybody.
Contest Period: 2nd full weekend of October, 1600Z (9am MST) Saturday to 0600Z
Sunday (11pm MST Sat), and 1400Z (7am MST) Sunday to 2359Z (5pm MST) Sunday, 24
hours total. For 2009, the contest will be held October 10-11.
Categories: Single-operator, single transmitter, Multi-operator, single
transmitter, and AZ Mobile. Power categories: High Power (>150W), Low Power
(<150W), and QRP (<5W). Use of spotting nets and other assistance allowed in
Multi-Single category only. AZ Portable stations operate in the Mobile
category.
Contest Exchange: Send signal report and State, Province or DXCC prefix.
Arizona Stations add County (e.g. AZMCP).
Valid Contact: Work stations once per band/mode 160m-2m excluding WARC bands.
CW and Digital are considered separate modes, and contacts in these modes must
not be made in the phone band segments. Mobiles that change counties are
considered as new stations, and can be worked again for both Multiplier and QSO
Point credit. County line (two counties max) QSOs should be logged as two
separate QSOs. Crossmode, crossband and repeater QSOs are not permitted. All
operators must observe the limitations of their operator and station licenses
at all times.
Suggested frequencies (kHz unless otherwise noted): CW: 1812, 3548, 7048,
14048, 21048, 28048, 50048. SSB: 1848, 3848, 7248, 14248, 21348, 28448, 50148.
FM Simplex: 146.48MHz.
QSO Points: Count one point per phone QSO, two points per CW and Digital Mode
QSO.
Multiplier: Stations outside Arizona use Arizona counties as multipliers for a
total of 15. Arizona stations use States (50) (DC counts as MD), Canadian
provinces (13) and DXCC countries as multipliers.
Bonus Station: Receive a one-time bonus of 100 points for a QSO with the
Catalina Radio Club station, W7SA, on any band and mode during the contest
period.
Scoring: Total score = (QSO points * Multipliers) + Bonus Points. Mobiles count
QSO points per county and multipliers from all counties (counted once). County
line operations count as two QSOs for both stations.
Reporting: Logs should indicate date/time in UTC, bands, modes, callsigns and
complete exchanges. Club entries are encouraged and should be indicated if
applicable. Electronic entries using the Cabrillo log format are HIGHLY
encouraged. Paper entries MUST use the provided summary sheet. Dupe sheet
required for paper entries over 50 QSOs. Entries must include Station and
Operator callsigns, entry category, and both email and postal mailing
addresses, and be submitted no later than Friday, October 31, 2009 by email to
