SSB, CW: 3,5 - 7 - 14 - 21 - 28 MHz
According to IARU Region I regulations and from experience in 2006 and 2007 to
reduce interference with the participants of JOTA contest operation is not
allowed in the following contest-free sections:
80m: CW - 3560 - 3800 kHz, SSB – 3650 – 3700 kHz
40m: SSB – 7080 – 7140 kHz

3. Categories:
* Single operator, CW, low power
* Single operator, CW, high power
* Single operator, mixed, low power
* Single operator, mixed, high power
* Single operator, mixed, QRP
* Multi operator
* SWL, single operator
Output power: QRP = up to 5 watts, low power = up to 100 watts,
high power = more than 100 watts
For Multi operator Band changes are allowed every ten minutes; Exception:
working of new multiplier (other transmitters may be used in parallel to the
main station to work multipliers on other bands, this means, several signals
may be on the air on different bands at the same time).
Notes:
* new Transmitters, receivers and antennas used in the contest must be
located within a 2 km diameter circle.
* DX cluster support is allowed for all categories
* Only one signal permitted at any time (exception: multi operator)
4. Exchange:
A contest QSO can only be established between non-German and German stations
and also between German stations.
Non-German stations give the usual RS/RST + serial number. German stations give
RS/RST + DOK (local area code).
new German participants, who are not member of the DARC will send NM (non
member) and will be no multiplier.
If the station worked does not send a serial number, log the contact with
number 000. A station may be worked once per band per mode.
5. Multipliers:
The multiplier for Non-German stations is determined by the number of German
districts worked on each band regardless of mode. The German district is
indicated by the first letter of the DOK. >From special DOKs (two or more
letter/figure or figure/letter combinations) only the first letter counts. Thus
a maximum of 26 multipliers per band is possible (letters A ...Z). German
stations use the current DXCC-entity-/WAE-country-list. Each entity/country
counts one multiplier per band regardless of mode.
6. Scoring:
Each complete exchange counts 3 points for non-German stations. German stations
get one point for QSO with an other German station, 3 points for an European
station and 5 points for a DX-station. The final score is computed by
multiplying the total number of QSO points by the sum of multipliers from all
bands.
7. Contest awards:
Certificates will be awarded to every participant as PDF-file for
self-printing.
8. Disqualification:
Violation of the rules of the contest, or unsportsmanlike conduct will be
deemed sufficend cause for disqualification.
9. Logs:
The log-file is to be submitted in the DARC-STF or in the Cabrillo format by
E-Mail to the following address: wag
Be sure to put the station callsign in the subject line of each message.
The receipt of the log will be automatically confirmed by an email.
new The logs will be part of the DCL (DARC Contest Logbook).
By submitting the log, the participant claims to fully accept the rules of the
contest.
10. Special regulations for SWLs:
All SWLs get one point (SSB) or three points (CW) for logging each new German
station with the sent RS/RST + DOK and the call of the station working with the
German station. The multiplier is determined by the sum of German districts
(first letter of DOK - see point 5) heard on each band. Each German station may
be counted once in SSB and once in CW on each band.
11. Deadline for log entries:
new Log deadline is always two weeks or, more specific, the third Monday after
the end of the contest.
