The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) cordially is inviting you to the
17th 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 usual 'luxurious' QRO equipment.
This event more than other contests has a meeting character.
The result lists show that many operators are taking part only for just an
hour or two with a singleband homebrew rig without any intention of high
scoring or even winning.
But if you want to prove that QRP operators may be keen operators you are
invited to do so as well.
- - - - - - - -
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 checklog.
Date: 01/02-Jan-2005 (18th OQRPC: 02/03-Jul-2005)
--------------
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 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 and did not use
DX-cluster or other third party support."
(= no online computer at all)
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.
Exchange of RST is sufficient with stations not in contest.
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.
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 TX/TRXs description at least
should name the basic principle (e.g. superheterodyne with IF
or "straight set" like VFO-BU-PA) with pa-transistor/-tube
and possibly a reference (e.g. SPRAT No.&page)
(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
e-mail logs for electronic checking (DL1RNN) to
<oqrpc@qrpcc.de>. See <http://www.qrpcc.de>for infos and
<http://www.qrpcc.de/e-Maillogs> for log-details.
The Windows-version of LM (DL8WAA) is recommended. DL1RNN also
asks for a summary with claimed number of qso and multipliers.
Text files in STF-format, please.

If you don't know us yet:
The QRP-Contest-Community (qrpcc) is an international network of qrp
enthusiasts (at present ~130 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 an 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 is organized by the qrpcc, too.
The youngest qrpcc "child" is the QRP-MINIMAL-ART-SESSION
born at Ascension Day 2000.
The promoters of qrpcc are private persons supporting the idea by personal
participation in organizing, log-checking, translating, printing address
labels etc. or by contributing to postage costs (for 1h of work for qrpcc
matters or for 5 Euro or 6$ you will be on the sponsors' list for one year).
OQRPC participants (at least those whithout e-mail or packet radio address)
will receive info-letters by post along with comments, statistics,
summary&log sheet etc..
- - - - - - - - -
There are more than 3 weeks time for a simple QRP homebrew project.
Maybe you will find your one in a list of QRP-MAS-Projects uploaded in <qrp>
in Packet Radio (or just type: c < dj7st).
So hpe cu in the ORIGINAL-QRP-CONTEST !
Best 73/2 de Hal, DJ7ST
