The SSB and RTTY club of COMO and the A.R.I. (Associazione Radioamatori
Italiani) are pleased to announce the details of the 39th "Alessandro VOLTA
RTTY DX CONTEST". This contest is organized to increase interest in RTTY
mode as used by radio amateurs and honor the Italian discoverer of
electricity, ALESSANDRO VOLTA.
TEST PERIOD: from 12:00 GMT Saturday May 14, 2005 until 12:00 GMT Sunday
May 15, 2005. In the future this event will take place on the second full
week-end in May.
BANDS: 3,5 - 7 - 14 -21 - 28 MHz Amateur bands.
CLASSES: A1- A2/xx - B - C - old classes are replaced with CABRILLO
STANDARDS:
"SINGLE-OP ALL" - Single operator, all bands.
"SINGLE-OP xxM" - Single operator, single band (where
xx=10, 15, 20, 40, 80).
"MULTI-OP" - Multi operator (list names and call signs
of all operators).
"SWL" - Short Wave Listeners.
"CHECKLOG" - logs for QSO checking
SCORING: All two way RTTY contacts will score in accordance with the
exchange POINTS TABLE. Contacts between stations within the same country
will not be valid. (e.g.: A W2 station can work W1, W3, W4 etc, but not W2;
example1). Contacts made outside one's own continent on 3.5 or 28 MHz are
worth double points; example 2.
CONTACTS: Station can be worked only once for each band. Additional contacts
may be made with the same station if a different band is used.
MULTIPLIERS: A multiplier of 1 is given for each Country contacted. The
same Country may be claimed again if a different band is used. An additional
multiplier is given for each INTERCONTINENTAL COUNTRY (DX) worked on at
least 4 bands example 3. A contact with a station which would count as
multiplier will only be valid if that station appears in at least 4 other
logs, or contest log is received from that station.
POINTS: Total exchange points multiplied by the total number of multiplier
multiplied by the total number of QSOs. [Points x Multipliers x QSOs = Final
score].
COUNTRIES: ARRL Country List plus each call-area in Australia, Canada,
Japan, New Zealand and the USA will be counted as a separate country. In
those cases DO NOT COUNT the general Country multiplier (JA-VE-VK-W-ZL);
COUNT ONLY each call-area worked (JA1..0, VE1...0, VK1..8, W1...0,
ZL1...ZL4).
MESSAGE: Must consist of: RST - QSO number - Your CQ Zone number. (es.:
599-001-15)
SWL: The same scoring rules will apply but based on stations and message
copied.
AWARD: A special Trophy will be awarded to the top stations in each class.
In addition a certificate with a sticker to all entrants.
LOGS AND SCORE SHEETS: Use one log per band. Logs must be clearly filled and
must contain: Band, Date, Time GMT, Call sign of station worked, message
sent, message received, points and multipliers. A summary score sheet is
required with a list of multiplier worked in each band and EXTRA
multipliers for 4 bands DX. Comments will also be very much appreciated.
