The QRP-CONTEST-COMMUNITY (qrpcc) May 7th, 2000
c/o Dr.Hartmut Weber, DJ7ST

Dear YL&OM,
"IT IS VAIN TO DO WITH MORE, WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH LESS"
(William of Occam (1290-1350), philosopher/theologian, Oxford/Munich)
Did he foresee QRP?
The QRP-CONTEST-COMMUNITY invites you to take part in the
Q R P - M I N I M A L - A R T - S E S S I O N (qrp-mas)
---------------------------------------------------------
Challenge: Contacts to be made with rigs as simple as possible
and constructed of as few components as possible.
Date: June 1st, 2000 (Ascencion Day); 1900-2300 UTC
----------------------------------------------
MODE: Single Op CW, Output < 5W or Input < 10W
BAND: 80m CW-Band
CALL: cq qrpmas
CLASS A: TX+RX resp. TRX consisting of not more than 100 components
CLASS B: TX: 50 components maximum, RX as you like
EXCHANGE: RST/Class and number of components, e.g.: 559/B25
(feel free to exchange name and small talk... if condx permit)
QSO-Points: Any QSO will be counted 1 point.
4 points will be counted for a QSO with a MAS-stn
whose log has been received for checking.
BONUS-Points: You will get bonus-points in percentages if you stay below the
limit of components permitted for your class
(e.g. a 50% bonus will be added to your final score if you only
use 25 components instead of max. 50 for your TX in class B
or a 20% bonus for a TRX with 80 components).
REMARKS: Components will be the following:
Resistors, capacitors, coils, diodes, transistors, tubes,
crystals, ceramic resonators etc.. Any selective network in
the TX output stage will be counted as if consisting of 3
components. For a better suppression of harmonics you are free
to use more (passive) components - they will not be counted.
IC's are permitted as long as the user can give any proof
(specification) of HOW MANY single components they may contain.
(But of course you still may take part in Class B, if your TRX
has too many ICs in its RX-section).
Plugs, connectors, knobs, fastening material and similar
hardware won't be counted. This also applies to power supply,
headphones, speaker, key, antenna, casing etc.
LOGS: Must contain UTC, call of stn wkd, RST sent&rcvd (see EXCHANGE)
Please give your callsign, full address and possibly MyBBS.
URGENT: A circuit diagram of rig/s) used with NUMBERED (=counted)
components MUST be enclosed (and an IC specificationn if used)!
There is no absolute need to indicate kOhm, pF etc. or type.
DEADLINE: Within 2 weeks after qrp-mas.

(Logs via Packet-Radio to DJ7ST@DB0ABZ appreciated)
- - - - - - -
A list of suitable articles and circuit diagrams in QRP-Report (DL-QRP-AG),
CQ-DL (DARC) and mainly SPRAT (each last 4 years issues) has been uploaded
into packet <qrp@dloe> some days before.
It will be followed by a <qrp@eu>-version within the next days.
Maybe you like to rummage through old issues of QST, RadCom etc. yourself?
Have fun -and please send me your list!
Too simple for you, but not unpleasant?
How about giving your point to the qrp-minimalists at Ascension Day?
"Simple -but not undemanding" you'll probably find when finally your rig is
prepared for qrp-mas. Let's hear your minimal art!
73/2
"Hal", Hartmut, DJ7ST
