LOG

Per trarre il maggior numero di change durante la “caccia” sulle varie frequenze, vorrei dare un semplice ma utile suggerimento, per chi, durante il Contest, volesse velocizzare la ricerca e l’individuazione delle Stazioni. Si può provare a consultare il motore di ricerca http://www.short-wave.info/, una guida che ci presenta la situazione, banda per banda, in tempo reale.

Buon Contest a tutti! 73’s de Alfredo Gallerati, IK7JGI

Da parte mia, oltre che ad applaudire all'iniziativa dell'ARI, consiglio l'utilizzo di software Log che permettono l'archiviazione oltre che l'esportazione degli ascolti in vari formati, una rassega di Log al seguente link:

THIRD BALKAN HF CONTEST 2016

THIRD BALKAN HF CONTEST

14 February 2016

Rules

1. Organiser: Federatia Romana de Radioamatorism / Romanian Federation of Amateur Radio (FRR)

The other Balkan Amateur Radio societies are kindly requested to organise 2017 contest.

2. Participants: Only radio amateurs from Balkan countries, which national Amateur Radio societies have been members of IARU*, i.e. with callsigns, starting with (in alphabetical order): 4O, 5B, 9A, C4, E7, ER, H2, J4, LZ, P3, S5, SV, SW, SX, SY, SZ, TA, TB, TC, YM, YO, YP, YQ, YR, YT, YU, Z3, ZA, ZC4.

3. Objective: To contact as many as possible radio amateurs from Balkan countries* (including own country) with as many as possible prefixes (see bellow).

4. Date and Time: From 12:00 UTC to 18:00 UTC (total 6 hours) on Sunday on second weekend of February. For 2016 it is 14 February.

5. Bands: 3.5 MHz and 7 MHz. Change of the band requires at least 10 minutes activity on the new band.

6. Modes: CW, SSB, Mixed.

7. Categories: Category A – Power permitted to the amateur according his/her license, but not exceeding 1000 W INPUT and Category B – Power not exceeding 10 W INPUT (QRP). The participants in this category transmit /QRP after their callsign (e.g. LZ1US/QRP).

8. Exchange: CW – RST report plus the consequent number of the QSO (e.g. 589023), SSB – RS report plus the consequent number of the QSO (e.g. 57006). In case of changing the mode or band the sequence of numbers continues.

9. Multipliers: Separately for each band – the number of Balkan prefixes contacted on the relevant band. For the purposes of this contest a different prefix is each callsign that differs in its first three marks. Therefore LZ6, LZ7, SV3, SV4, Z31, Z32, TA1, TA2 etc. are different multipliers, but LZ07KM counts as LZ0, YO2014A counts as YO2, ER650MD counts as ER6, etc. Participation from area with prefix different from original counts as that prefix (e.g. SV0XCA/5 counts as SV5).

10. Allowed contacts: Only one (1) contact with any station is valid on each band, independently on the mode (e.g. if LZ6Y makes a contact with ZA1RE on 7 MHz / CW, another contact between them on the same band, regardless on CW, or on SSB, shall not be valid; one (1) contact between them on 3.5 MHz shall be valid).

11. QSO Points: Each contact with category A station is worth one (1) point while each contact with category B station is worth two (2) points. Repeated contacts with the same correspondent on the same band are worth zero (0) points for both (initial and repeated)

contacts. Contacts logged with more than 5 minutes difference from the real time are also worth zero (0) points.

12. Final score: The final score for both categories is the sum of QSO points on 3.5 MHz band, multiplied by the multiplier on this band, plus QSO points on 7 MHz band, multiplied by the multiplier on this band (e.g. if Z32TY has contacted 20 stations on 3.5 MHz, 3 of them QRP, number of contacted prefixes 15 and 25 stations on 7 MHz, 5 of them QRP, number of contacted prefixes 18, his final score shall be (17+6)x15 + (20+10)x18 = 345+540 = 885 points).

13. Classification: Separately for Category A and Category B. No difference between CW only, SSB only or mixed.

14. Logs: All times must be in UTC (GMT). Logs must be checked for duplicate contacts, correct QSO points, and multipliers. Electronic logs in Cabrillo format sent by e-mail are compulsory. Write down Balkan Contest and your callsign in Subject line. Submit your logs to the addresses in the Appendix.

15. Deadline: All entries must be sent by e-mail not later than one week after the date of the contest – 21.february.2016 – 23.59 UTC.

16. Disqualification: Violations of amateur radio regulations, the rules of the contest, unsportsmanlike conduct, use of any non-amateur means of contacts (such as telephone, Internet etc.) will be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification. The decision of the organising society is official and final.

17. Awards: Plaques will be awarded for top performance to first ten (10) amateurs in category A and first three (3) in category B, as well as best participant from each country. Winners in each category are promulgated Balkan HF Champions.

Appendix: Balkan Amateur Radio societies are kindly requested to organise next contests. Each society, that have agreed to be organiser of the contest, is consequently responsible for collecting the logs, calculating and announcing the results and dispatching the awards within one month from the date of the contest according the following list:

2016 – Federatia Romana de Radioamatorism / Romanian Federation of Amateur Radio (FRR)

E-mail address for logs: logs@hamradio.ro

2017 – To be announced

* For that contest the amateurs from the following Balkan countries, with national Amateur Radio societies members of IARU, have been allowed to participate (in alphabetical order): Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, FYRO Macedonia, Greece, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey.

SWL Contest -VERON

SWL - Short Listening Period - contests

Contest rules VERON SLP contests

Summary: The SLP's are short listening period contests, taking place 8 times a year. In order to participate to the contest one should listen 3 times one hour in the contest weekend and try to log as much different prefixes and countries as possible. The final score is the sum of the prefixes of each band multiplied by the sum of the heard DXCC-countries logged on each band.
A logged contact is complete when you have noted: Frequency/Band - Date - Time(UTC) - Call of the heard station - Call of the counter station - Report of the heard station including, if applicable, contest extensions.
Only contacts in phone on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 m bands are allowed for the contest and count all for one point.
One should stay at the same band for at least 10 minutes and a counter station may not return in the log within 5 minutes.
Give SWL-contesting a try an send your log with score calculation to the contest manager Ruud Ivens, NL290(at)veron.nl , or to his home address (see pt. 10 below), within a month after the contest weekend.

Detailed description

1. The SLP-contests are open to SWL's all over the world.

2. The contest dates in 2016 are:

   1.   30/31 January
   2.   5/6 March
   3.   26/27 March
   4.    14/15 May
   5.    25/26 June
   6.    9/10 July
   7.    10/11 September
   8.    29/30 October
3. Only phone contacts are permitted on the bands: 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meter.

4. During each contest weekend only 3 hours in the period Saturday 00.00 UTC and Sunday 24.00 UTC are valid for the SLP-log. These 3 hours may be divided in blocks of one, two or three hours (1+1+1 or 2+1 or 1+2 or 3 sequential hours). Each block has to start at the beginning of an hour. Of course one may listen much longer than three hours but submit a log of only 3 hours sampled.

5. You have to log as much different prefixes and DXCC-entities as possible. Each heard station can be logged completely when you heard it mentioning the own call, the call of the counter station (working) and the report given (including contest extensions). There's no need to hear the counter station. In case you also may hear the counter station and its report, you may use that station as a separate log entry. A prefix is valid if it is conform to the WPX-rules and a country if it is conform to the DXCC-rules. Each prefix counts for one point and each country for one multiplier. On each band a prefix only counts once and a country too. On another band the prefixes and countries count again. The total score is calculated by multiplying the overall number of prefixes (sum of all bands) by the overall number of multipliers (sum of all bands)

6. You have to apply a separate log sheet for each band (not necessary for e-mail logs). Note your SWL-call, frequency/band and sheet number on top of each sheet. A log has to contain: Date, Time (UTC), Station heard, call of the counter station, report including the contest extension, the prefix point and the multiplier, indicated by the DXCC-entity. A heard station not participating in the running contest will probably exchange a report without sequence number or contest extension; in that case only the RS report is sufficient. Calculate the score on a summary sheet. On the summary sheet you also have to put the number of sheets, your complete name, address and a short description of the equipment used. The summary sheet also has to contain a statement that you observed the rules of the contest. Logs sent via E-mail are very welcome, preferably in Cabrillo format, another type of plain TXT (ASCII) with tab or comma between the fields, MS-WORD or MS-EXCEL. An E-mail log may be in order of time; in that case a split by band is not required under the restriction that each logged contact contains a band indication in the line.

7. Only contacts between amateur radio stations are valid. A station in the column "worked" (counter station) only may return in the log after 5 minutes. One has to stay on the same band for at least 10 minutes. One may use only one receiver at the same time and only single operator class is allowed. Duplicate logged stations, too early returned counter stations, duplicate prefixes and other log lines without points should be marked by -- or 0 in the column for the points (when you work out the log later, you may also delete these log lines). Logs with serious errors or too many mistakes will be put aside. In case of doubt concerning the validity of a logged contact the contest manager decides. Signing the log means you observed the contest rules.

8. The use of WebSDR for the logging in this contest is not permitted; the SWL should only operate with own receiver and antenna.

9. In every SLP contest a souvenir is available for the highest classification, not having won a souvenir earlier during the running year (you only may win a souvenir once a year, but you also have a chance scoring the 2nd, 3rd or even the 4th place in a contest). The Daan Dekker Memorial will be awarded to the overall winner of this years SLP-contest sequence, summing the 6 best results. SWL's participating to at least 3 SLP-contests will be certified at the end of the sequence.

10. The contest results will be published in the ham radio magazine of the VERON - Electron, by E-mail and on the Internet: http://swl.veron.nl/swlcontest.htm

11. The log of each separate contest should be sent to the contest manager within one month after the contest weekend (the postmark is decisive): Ruud Ivens, NL-290, Hittekamp 29, 3956 RE Leersum, The Netherlands. Or via E-mail: NL290(at)veron.nl. The reception of E-mail logs will be confirmed.

12. Digital logs are very welcome: see rule 6. If paper log: write good readable. When you log totally more than 20 entries on any band, a checklist of prefixes and multipliers is preferred. It helps you and us with checking the logs.

L’IQRP CLUB, associazione che riunisce i radioamatori italiani e stranieri cultori delle trasmissioni a bassa potenza (QRP), con il patrocinio della Sezione ARI di Montebelluna (TV) Italy, promuove ed organizza, con l’intento di incentivare le trasmissioni in QRP, la prima edizione della:

IQRP QUARTERLY MARATHON

SCOPO:

la Maratona è da considerarsi World-Wide per cui è possibile e auspicabile collegare qualsiasi stazione italiana o straniera durante la prima settimana di ogni trimestre del 2016.

PERIODO:
da lunedì 4 gennaio a domenica 10 gennaio (IQRP MARATHON FIRST QUARTERLY)
da lunedì 4 aprile a domenica 10 aprile (IQRP MARATHON SECOND QUARTERLY)
da lunedì 4 luglio a domenica 10 luglio (IQRP MARATHON THIRD QUARTERLY)
da lunedì 3 ottobre a domenica 9 ottobre (IQRP MARATHON FOURTH QUARTERLY)

dalle ore 08,00 UTC del lunedì fino alle ore 20,00 UTC della domenica.

BANDE E MODI DI EMISSIONE:

Sono ammessi QSO in CW, FONIA (SSB), MODI DIGITALI (RTTY e PSK31) effettuati nelle bande HF, VHF, UHF.

COME CHIAMARE:

Le chiamate in CW dovranno essere così effettuate CQ IQRP MAR de (CALL) QRP. Le chiamate in Fonia dovranno essere così effettuate CQ IQRP Marathon from (CALL) QRP

POTENZA:

La massima potenza ammessa è di 5 Watt

PUNTEGGIO:

1 punto a QSO. Vengono considerati come moltiplicatore soltanto i KM del QSO con maggior QRB. Per calcolare il moltiplicatore il numero dei KM verrà diviso per 100. (KM/100).

CLASSIFICA:

Sarà stilata una classifica separata per ogni settimana e, sommando i singoli punteggi, a fine anno si otterrà la classifica generale. I risultati inerenti alle singole settimane verranno pubblicati sul sito www.arimontebelluna.it

LOG:

I log di ogni singola settimana vanno spediti entro le due settimane successive, solo in formato ADIF, come allegati all'indirizzo email:
