WAE DX Contest - 2011
WAE DX Contest 2011
RULES 2011
The Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC) invites radio amateurs world wide to participate in the annual WAE DX Contest.
1 Times
CW: August, second full weekendSaturday, August 13, 2011, 0000 UTC until Sunday, August 14, 2011, 2359 UTC
SSB: September, second full weekend
Saturday, September 10, 2011, 0000 UTC until Sunday, September 11, 2011, 2359 UTC
RTTY: November, second full weekend
Saturday, November 12, 2011, 0000 UTC until Sunday, November 13, 2011, 2359 UTC
2 Bands
3.5 - 7 - 14 - 21 - 28 MHz.According to IARU recommendations operation should be avoided outside contest-preferred segments. No operation to take place on:
CW : 3560-3800; 7040-7200; 14060-14350 kHz
SSB: 3650-3700; 7050-7060; 7100-7130; 14100-14125; 14300-14350 kHz.
3 Categories
- SINGLE-OP LOW
Max. output 100 watts - all bands. Only one signal permitted at any time. - SINGLE-OP HIGH
Output higher than 100 watts - all bands. Only one signal permitted at any time. - MULTI-OP
Band changes are allowed every 10 minutes; this includes all activities of a main station, including QSO & QTC traffic and CQing.
Only exception: Working of a multiplier. Other transmitters may be used in parallel to the main station to work multipliers on other bands. - SWL
(see §12)
- Transmitters, receivers and antennas used in the contest must be located within a 2 km diameter circle.
- The use of DX spotting nets is allowed in all categories.
4 Off Times
Single Operator stations may only operate 36 out of the 48-hour contest period.The total of 12 hours off time may be taken in one part but not more than three parts. The off times must be shown on the summary sheet. If operation is interrupted for more than 12 hours the three longest off time periods must be a minimum of 12 hours.
5 Exchange
A contest QSO can only be conducted between a European and a non-European station (exception: RTTY, see §13). The exchange consists of RS/RST and a progressive serial number starting with 001. If the station worked does not send a serial number, log the contact with number 000. Each station can be credited only once per band.6 Multiplier
For non-European stations the multiplier is the number of countries defined in the WAE Country List (see below) worked per band.For European stations every non-European DXCC entity counts as a multiplier.
Exception: In the following countries up to ten numerical call areas count as multipliers:
W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS, JA, PY and RA8/RA9 and RAØ -- without respect to their geographical location.
Examples: W1, K1, KA1 and K3../1 count as W1;
VE1, VO1 und VY1 count as VE1;
JR4, 7M4 und 7K4 count as JA4;
ZL2 and ZL6 are two different multipliers.
Multiplier bonus: Country multiplier points are "weighted" by band. Multiply the number of countries worked on 3.5 MHz by four, on 7 MHz by three, and on 14/21/28 MHz by two. The total multiplier is the sum of the weighted multiplier points of all bands.
7 QTC Traffic
Additional points can be achieved by QTCs. A QTC is the report of a contest QSO back to a European station (exception: RTTY, see §13).The following rules apply:
- A QTC contains time, call sign and serial number of the reported QSO. Example: "1307 DA1AA 431" means that DA1AA was worked at 1307 UTC and sent serial number 431.
- Each QSO may only be reported once as a QTC. The QTC may not be reported back to the original station.
- Every QTC that was correctly transferred, counts one point for the sender and one point for the receiver.
- Two stations may exchange up to 10 QTCs maximum. The two stations may establish contact several times to complete the quota.
- QTCs are transferred by means of QTC series. A QTC series is a block of one (minimum) to ten (maximum) QTCs. QTC series are numbered using the following scheme: The first figure is the progressive serial number starting with one; the second figure denotes the number of QTCs in the series. Example: "QTC 3/7" means this is the third QTC series transmitted by this station and it contains seven QTCs.
- For every QTC series that is transmitted or received, the QTC number, time and frequency band of the QTC transmission must be logged. If any of this data is missing from your log, no credit will be given for this QTC series.
8 Scoring
The final score is the result of total QSOs plus QTCs on all bands multiplied by the sum of all multipliers weighted by the band bonus factor (see §6).9 Disqualification
Violation of the rules of the contest or unsportsmanlike conduct will be deemed sufficient cause for disqualification. The decisions of the contest-committee are final.10 Submissions
URL: http://www.waedc.deMessages to contest manager (no logs): waedc-info@dxhf.darc.de
Logs need to be sent in STF or Cabrillo-Format to the following e-mail address:
WAEDC CW : waecw@dxhf.darc.de WAEDC SSB : waessb@dxhf.darc.de WAEDC RTTY : waertty@dxhf.darc.deBe sure to put the station call sign into the subject of each message.
By submitting an electronic log, the participant claims to fully accept the rules of the contest. A written declaration is not necessary.
Note: After publication of the results all logs will be put into the DARC Contest Logbook (DCL).
Hand-written logs:
After the contest use a proper logging program or LM from DL8WAA to enter your data.
See Link: http://contestsoftware.com/e/home.htm
If you do not have a computer, please ask a friend or family member to import the log.
11 DX & Contest Club Competition
The club score is calculated by adding the final results of all participating club members in all three WAE contests, excluding SWLs. To be counted, the name of the club has to be indicated in the log on a separate header line using the keyword "CLUB".
The club must not be an official national amateur radio club.
For a club to be listed, a minimum of three logs must be submitted.A trophy is sponsored for the top DX (non-EU) and the top EU clubs.
For DL stations participating in the German DARC/VFDB-Clubmeisterschaft put your DOK in the log on a separate header line using the keyword "SPECIFIC".
12 Special Rules for SWLs
SWLs record stations working in the WAEDC. Participation is only possible as a single operator all bands. Every call sign heard - European or non-European station - may be credited only once per band. Both call signs of a contest QSO have to be recorded.Each station that is logged including the serial number that was sent by that station, counts one point. Every complete QTC which includes all QTC series information (up to a maximum of 10 per station) also counts one point.
Multipliers are counted according to the criteria indicated in §6, but both European and non-European multipliers are counted. A call sign can only be counted as a multiplier, if the serial number it sent was recorded. In the best case, for a completely recorded QSO, two points and two multipliers can be credited.
13 Special Rules for RTTY
In the RTTY portion of the WAEDC there are no continental limits; everybody can work everybody. Only QTC traffic must be performed between different continents.Every station may send and receive QTCs. The sum of QTCs exchanged between two stations (sent plus received) must not exceed 10 (ten).
The European and non-European multipliers indicated in §6 count for all stations.
14 Log Deadline
Log deadline is always two weeks or, more specific, the third Monday after the end of the contest.CW: August 29; SSB: September 28; RTTY: November 28, 2011.
15 Criteria for WAEDC Awards and Plaques
Continental winners will receive a plaque. Printable online certificates will be availabe for all stations on result publication.Entries from countries split by numerical call areas for multiplier reasons (see §6) will be listed according to their reported location within their respective geographical call area.
Stations who activate a WAE country for the WAEDC from where no log was received over the last three years will be recognized as "WAEDC Hero" and receive a special prize. For 2011 these 10 countries are:
1AØ, HV, JW, JW/b, JX, R1F, R1M, SV/A, ZA, ZBStations who have been in the Top-Ten/Top-Six list for at least five times can apply for a special plaque.
The WAEDC committee reserves the right to honor special contest activities with additional plaques.

CATEGORIES
All entrants must operate within the limits of their chosen category when performing any activity that could impact their submitted score. All equipment (transmitters, receivers and antennas) plus all operators must be located within a 500m diameter circle or within the property limits of the station licensee’s address, whichever is the greater.
4.1 Location:
• Island (Any station operating from a qualifying island, as listed in the IOTA Directory. Island stations must ensure beforehand that the island from which they are operating is a valid qualifying island for IOTA. Any questions about the IOTA programme and island validity should be addressed to the IOTA Manager (see RSGB IOTA Web site).
• World (any station not on a qualifying island).
4.2 Operators:
• Single operator QSO alerting assistance of any kind (this includes, but is no limited to, packet, local or remote Skimmer and/or Skimmer-like technology, Internet) places the entrant in the Single-operator Assisted category.
• Single-operator Assisted One person. One signal at any one time. QSO alerting assistance is allowed (this includes, but is not limited to, packet, local or remote Skimmer and/or Skimmer-like technology, Internet). Self-spotting or asking to be spotted is not allowed.
• Multi-Operator (24-hour Mixed Mode only. Multi-ops are restricted to a maximum of two transceivers, the second station to be used to find and call other stations only if the station is a new multiplier. It must not be used to solicit other contacts, e.g. by calling "CQ" or "QRZ". Any non-multiplier QSOs made accidentally on the second station must be logged, but will be scored as zero points. QSO alerting assistance is allowed (this includes, but is not limited to, packet, local or remote Skimmer and/or Skimmer-like technology, Internet). Self-spotting or asking to be spotted is not allowed. Multi-operator entrants should include a full list of operators with their entry).
4.3 Mode:
• CW
• SSB
• Mixed-mode (multi-operator entries must be Mixed Mode).
4.4 Operating Time:
• 24 hours
• 12 hours (Multi-operator entries must be 24 hours, In the 12-hour categories, operation need not be for one continuous 12-hour period but, once operation has commenced, off periods must be a minimum of 60 minutes.).
4.5 Power (Any station not indicating transmitter power will be classified as High Power):
• High-power (maximum, as permitted by the station licence but, in any case, no more than 1500 watts output)
• Low power (maximum 100 watts output),
• QRP (maximum 5 watts output).
5. DXPEDITIONS
5.1 Island stations may, additionally, indicate that they are a DXpedition station as defined below, and compete for a range of expedition trophies and certificates (an additional listing will be shown in the results). It is essential that you make this clear on your cover sheet as notification after the entry deadline cannot be accepted.
5.2 The definition of DXpedition for this optional listing is one:
• where the island can only be reached by boat or air (islands which can be accessed by bridge or causeway - man-made or natural - are not eligible),
• where none of the operators is resident on the island,
• where the operators take all radio equipment and antennas with them and do not rely on a resident for any part of the station,
• where, in the case of 100W IOTA Island DXpedition stations, the antennas are limited to one element per band (e.g. dipole, vertical). (High power DXpeditions have no antenna restrictions).
6. EXCHANGE
Send RS(T) and serial number starting from 001, plus IOTA reference number if applicable (island stations MUST include the IOTA reference as part of their exchange). Do not use separate numbering systems for CW and SSB. Stations may be contacted on both CW and SSB on each band. Multi-operator entrants may find it convenient to allocate separate blocks of serial numbers for the run and multiplier stations, but do ensure if possible that there is no duplication of serial numbers.
All entrants must operate within the limits of their chosen category when performing any activity that could impact their submitted score. All equipment (transmitters, receivers and antennas) plus all operators must be located within a 500m diameter circle or within the property limits of the station licensee’s address, whichever is the greater.

7.
SCORING
7.1 QSO Points – All entrants can work anyone, island or non-island. Contacts with non-island stations count 3 points. Contacts with IOTA islands count 15 points except that, if you are on an island, contacts with your own IOTA reference count 3 points.
7.2 Multiplier - The multiplier is the total of different IOTA references contacted on each band on CW, plus the total of different IOTA references contacted on each band on SSB. Multi-op stations may not work members of their own group for multiplier credit.
7.3 Total Score - The score is the total of QSO points on all bands added together, multiplied by the total of multipliers.
7.1 QSO Points – All entrants can work anyone, island or non-island. Contacts with non-island stations count 3 points. Contacts with IOTA islands count 15 points except that, if you are on an island, contacts with your own IOTA reference count 3 points.

8.
LOGS
8.1 Electronic submission of logs by disc or e-mail is encouraged - and in fact required - for all high scoring entrants and all who use a computer to log or prepare the logs. Entrants submitting paper logs will not be eligible for certificates or awards. Those who log on paper are encouraged to get the log typed up by a friend and submit electronically. Electronic submissions should be in Cabrillo format (a definition of Cabrillo, as applied to the IOTA contest, can be found on the RSGB HFCC Web page). Word, Excel or other proprietary file formats are no longer acceptable. Many popular contest logging programs support the IOTA contest. Single-operator entrants are recommended to try SDI from EI5DI, which is free and can be downloaded from here

8.2 For
Cabrillo logs, the categories and category overlays are:
CATEGORY: [SINGLE-OP, MULTI-OP] ALL [HIGH, LOW, QRP] [SSB, CW, MIXED]
CATEGORY-ASSISTED: [ASSISTED, UNASSISTED]
CATEGORY-DXPEDITION: [EXPEDITION, NON-DXPEDITION]
CATEGORY-TIME: [12-HOURS, 24-HOURS]
So, a single-op, World, low power, 12-hours, CW, unassisted would show:
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL LOW CW
CATEGORY-ASSISTED: UNASSISTED
CATEGORY-TIME: 12-HOURS
A multi-op island station may, for example, indicate:
CATEGORY: MULTI-OP ALL HIGH MIXED
CATEGORY-DXPEDITION: EXPEDITION
CATEGORY: [SINGLE-OP, MULTI-OP] ALL [HIGH, LOW, QRP] [SSB, CW, MIXED]
CATEGORY-ASSISTED: [ASSISTED, UNASSISTED]
CATEGORY-DXPEDITION: [EXPEDITION, NON-DXPEDITION]
CATEGORY-TIME: [12-HOURS, 24-HOURS]
So, a single-op, World, low power, 12-hours, CW, unassisted would show:
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL LOW CW
CATEGORY-ASSISTED: UNASSISTED
CATEGORY-TIME: 12-HOURS
A multi-op island station may, for example, indicate:
CATEGORY: MULTI-OP ALL HIGH MIXED
CATEGORY-DXPEDITION: EXPEDITION
8.3 Logs
must show: Time, Callsign, Band, Mode, RST / serial
number / IOTA reference sent, RST / serial number / IOTA reference
received.
Please ensure you send a single log in order of sent serial number. Do not send separate logs for each
band. Logs from IOTA stations must state their island name and IOTA
reference
number. The log data in a Cabrillo log should be of the format:

High scoring
entrants are encouraged to log the actual frequency, not just the band.
Multi-operator entrants must also identify the transmitter on which the
QSO is
made (in accordance with normal Cabrillo formats, this is shown by a
numerical
identifier at the right-hand end of the QSO line, i.e. after the
received
IOTA).
8.4 Entries
can be emailed
to iota.logs@rsgbcc.org
and should be
sent as a normal attachment to the e-mail. Send as an uncompressed
file. Do NOT
send more than one attachment. In the "subject" line of your e-mail
message, please include your contest callsign. Please take a moment to
check
your log via a text editor before sending it, to avoid potential
problems. You
will receive an acknowledgement by e-mail within 24 hours, directing
you to a

PENALTIES
Points may be deducted, or entrants disqualified, for violation of the rules or the spirit of the contest. This includes, for example, refusal by IOTA island stations to make contacts with their own country when requested, use of a third party to make contacts on a list or net, working CW multipliers on an SSB frequency, failing to observe the contest-preferred band segments, or not giving the IOTA reference for every contact. The decision of the IOTA Contest Manager and RSGB Contests Committee is final in all matters of dispute.

4.3.4. All operators must observe the amateur radio regulations of their country at all times.
5. Contest Exchange:
5.1. IARU member society HQ stations send signal report and official IARU member society abbreviation. IARU International Secretariat club station NU1AW counts as a HQ station. Members of the IARU Administrative Council and the three IARU regional Executive committees send “AC,” “R1,””R2,” and “R3” as appropriate.
5.2. All others send signal report and ITU zone.
