The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) cordially is inviting you to the
13th O R I G I N A L - Q R P - C O N T E S T
-------------------------------------------------
The contest idea is to promote creative or unconventional QRP-hamming like
homebrewing or just doing it without your 'luxurious' QRO equipment.
This event more than other contests has a meeting character. The result
lists show that many operators are taking part only on one band for just
an hour or two and without the intention of high scoring or even winning.
The 11th OQRPC in Dec. 2001 has seen nearly 300 participants.
- - - - - - - -
Participants: Operators of original QRP rig, commercial or homebrew,
including industrial QRP rig exceeding 5w output like
Elecraft K2, SG 2020, FT-7 and QRP-versions of
QRO-transceivers like TS-130 V, FT-707S etc.
Stations with QRO-equipment (>20W out) temporarily reduced
to QRP will be listed as 'non Original' checklog.
Date: 28/29-Dec-2002 (14th OQRPC: 05/06-July-2003)
--------------
Time: Saturday 1500 UTC till Sunday 1500 UTC,
rest period of 9 hours minimum in one or two parts.
(more pauses as you like)
Frequencies: CW segments of the 80-, 40-, and 20m band.
Call: CQ OQRP (=Original QRP)
Categories: V L P (1W out or 2W in) Q R P (5W out or 10W in)
M P (20W out or 40W in) ( No QRO-category)
NEW: There now are 'Handmade' and 'Open' subcategories i.e.
VLP/Handmade and VLP/Open, QRP/Handmade and QRP/Open etc..
Contestants who want to be listed in a 'Handmade' subcategory
MUST declare : "All my TX operated in this contest were
homemade by myself. I was coding & decoding the CW signals by
head & hand without computer assistance (= no keyboard) and
did not use DX-cluster or other third party support."
Any log without a declaration like this will be listed in the
"Open" subcategory.
Operation: Single-op CW.
Various TX/TRX may be operated, but only one at the same time.
Exchange: RST, serial-no./ category e.g. 559001/VLP.
QSO-Points: The log checker will count 4 points for a qso with another
contest station whose log has come in.
All other QSO count 1 point.
Exchange of RST is sufficient with stations not in contest.
Multiplier: The log checker will count 2 multiplier points for each
DXCC-country from a qso with a station whose log has come in.
Otherwise each DXCC-country counts 1 multiplier point.
Final score: Sum of QSO-points multiplied by the sum of multiplier-points.
(Calculated by the log checker. Don't try an own calculation:
you cannot foresee who will send his log and who will not).
So every log is welcome and important, even just 3 QSO on a picture postcard
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logs: List QSO sorted bandwise, please. (Otherwise you might find
your log listed as checklog!)
Add the DXCC prefix if you claim a multiplier for a QSO.
Summary sheet: has to show name, address, callsign and minimum rest periods.
Indicate the types of all TX/TRX used with out- or input on
each band according to manufacturer or measured under
contest conditions. Homebrew rigs description should name
pa-transistor/-tube and possibly a reference (e.g. SPRAT No.)
(Don't forget the "Handmade"-declaration mentioned above).
Deadline: 31-Jan/31-Jul to: Dr. Hartmut Weber, DJ7ST, Schlesierweg 13,
D-38228 SALZGITTER, Germany. Via Packet to DJ7ST@DB0ABZ
NEW: e-mail logs to DL9OE@darc.de

P.S. If you don't know us yet:
The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) is a supra-national network of qrp
enthusiasts (at present 170 promoters from 12 nations) pursuing the
organization and promotion of QRP Contests since 1992.
The qrpcc may be viewed as a support group taking care of the QRP'ers
interests in a self-help manner.
Because of its international design the qrpcc does not seek any affiliation
with national ham radio organizations but is open to any cooperation.
Since 1996 the qrpcc carries out the ORIGINAL-QRP-CONTEST, designed for
genuine QRP gear. The HOMEBREW & OLDTIME-EQUIPMENT-Party (HOT-PARTY) since
1997 also is organized by qrpcc. The newest qrpcc event is the
QRP-MINIMAL ART-SESSION which started at Ascension Day 2000.
The promoters of qrpcc are private persons supporting the idea by personal
participation in organizing, log-checking, printing address labels etc. or
by contributing to postage costs.

All OQRPC participants will receive info-letters by post along with
comments, statistics, summary&log sheet etc..
Hpe cu in the ORIGINAL-QRP-CONTEST !
Best 73/2 de Hal, DJ7ST
