There is a special trophy for the
highest scoring SO Low Power station. Trophy is sponsored by LRSF
- Lithuanian Radio Sport Federation. To be eligible for the trophy a station
has to indicate clearly in his submitted log that he has used 100w or less
output power.
Estonian stations can work all the stations who participate in the contest (both ES stations and non ES stations).
Non ES stations can work only ES stations. |
| Report: |
RS(T) and serial number, starting with 001.
Serial number is continuous, not separate per band! |
| Periods: |
Contest consists of 4 equal periods:
1st Period 0500 - 0559 UTC
2nd Period 0600 - 0659 UTC
3rd Period 0700 - 0759 UTC
4th Period 0800 - 0859 UTC
Duplicate QSOs (i.e. QSOs with the same station) on the same band are
allowed only in different periods regardless of the mode.
A station can work a certain station 2 times within a period - once on 80m
and once on 40m and thus 8 times in total during the contest. |
| QSO points: |
CW QSO = 2 points and SSB QSO = 1 point. |
| Multipliers: |
ES region prefixes (ES1 - ESØ) on each band and mode. (max.
40 for A, D and E classes and 20 for B and C classes).
For ES stations their own region is not a multiplier and maximum
multipliers are 36 and 18 respectively. |
| Scoring: |
Final score is the sum of QSO points collected on 2 bands times total multiplier. |
| Logging: |
The logs should be presented on standard international contest log-sheets accompanied by a summary sheet with necessary data about the participant. (Please indicate your class!).Time is in UTC - maximum allowed time discrepancy is 5 min.
Hint:
Most of the contest logging programs can be easily used for logging. For
example TR with WPX configuration as different prefixes are all
multipliers. Just clean up the Dupe Sheet after every 1 hour to allow for
duplicates in different periods! NB!
TRLog Configuration File for ES
OPEN available here!
SUPER DUPER by EI5DI fully
supports ES OPEN.
Read here! An idea how to use WinTest:
- SAC contest in MIXED mode! (although
there is no MIXED mode in SAC)
-
Start 4 sessions of WinTest at your computer with different log names before
the contest and after every hour switch to next window, set the serial
number correct by EDIT->EDIT SERIAL NUMBER... and start logging in new
window. This way the dupe calculation is correct. SAC does not let you work
the same station again on the same band in different mode and calls it dupe
correctly.
- You
have to manually account the multipliers but it is OK to do so on paper as
the maximum is only 40.
After
the contest you just have to make 4 cabrillo files and lift them together.
No modifications needed other than claimed score should you wish to correct
it and it is easy to calculate if you know your SSB and CW QSOs and mults. |
| Deadline: |
| Please send your logs by May 20th, 2010!
We hope to receive e-mail logs (text format,
cabrillo preferred) - please send them to:
esopen@erau.ee
The paper logs should be posted to:
