The Dutch YL Committee organizes this HF-contest every year in the second full weekend of January. Which is January 9 and 10 in 2006. Saturday 10 January CW 14.00 - 20.00 UTC Sunday 11 January SSB 08.00 - 14.00 UTC
80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meterband ( no crossband). To make your calls in SSB pse use the following frequency segments: 3.600-3.650, 7.080-7.090,14.270-14.300, 21.270-21.300, 28.470-28.500 MHz. This is useful so you will soon meet other conteststations instead of scanning the entire contest-segment for YL's.
Only single stations and single operators can participate in this contest. There are five categories in which you can participate: YL SSB, YL CW, OM SSB OM CW and SWL.
In SSB YL's call 'CQ midwintercontest' and OM's call CQ YL's. In CW pse use 'CQ OMS' or 'CQ YLS', to avoid any mixups with OM and YL countries
Call, RS(T) and sequence number. OM's start with 001, YL's start with 2001. Both SSB and CW part should start with 001/2001
Every QSO with a YL: 5 points and every QSO with an om: 3 points. QSO with PI4YLC counts for 15 points, The clubstation will be active on both day's on several bands. A station can be worked once on every band. QSO from OM to OM = 0 points! For example: PA3YLC may be worked on Saturday in CW on 80, 40 and 20 meterband and on Sunday in SSB on 80, 20, 15 and 10 meterband. For the CW part this will count for 3x5=15 qso points and for the SSB part 4x5=20 qso points.
Every worked DXCC-country counts as multiplier (that is the total number of countries on all bands for CW or SSB, not per band). For example: If you work I, DL and F on 20 meterband and DL, OH and G on 15 meterband, that would make 5 multipliers (not six).
Every heard YL counts for 5 points, PI4YLC counts for 15 points, multipliers as above. The log should also contain qso partner.
For CW and SSB seperate logs and seperate points! The log should also contain: time, band, date and YL or OM. Logs that are not filled in right, unclear or unreadable can be ignored by the manager and if so do not compete as contestlog. In every category, places 1,2 and 3 will be rewarded with a certificate. Logs should be sent before the end of February 2003 (date postmark) to the following address:
Good luck, 73 de Chantal - PA3GQG
