The organisers of the SEANET Convention 2001 invites all radio amateurs
world-wide to participate in the SEANET 2001 Contest. This contest is
associated with the 29th Annual SEANET Convention in Sabah,
East Malaysia, to be held 9th - 11th November 2001,
in the spirit of amateur radio world-wide friendship. The format of the
contest will remain the same as last year, in accordance with the Wishes
of the contestants. The contest will therefore be a single 24 hour contest
incorporating CW/Voice/ and digital modes.

|
SCORING:
|
For contacts between WORLD-WIDE and SEANET
Stations = 10 points. |
|
|
For contacts between SEANET stations in DIFFERENT
SEANET countries/entities = 10 points. |
|
|
For contacts between SEANET stations in the SAME
country/entity = 5 points. |
|
|
Each DXCC Country/Entity worked counts as a
multiplier, but only counts once regardless of band or mode. A multiplier
can be claimed for working your own country, but QSO points cannot be
claimed except for contacts between stations within a SEANET country/entity.
Note - for mixed-mode entries QSO points can be claimed with the same
station on each of the three modes, and for multi-band entries - QSO points
can be claimed for QSOs with the same station on different bands. Note that
only one contact per mode is allowed on each band with the same station.
E.g. A "Voice" mode contact can only be made once per band with
the same station. SSB or FM can be used for the contact, but points cannot
be claimed for an SSB and an FM contact with the same station. Similarly on
digital, any digital mode can be used to make a digital mode contact with
the same station, but points cannot be claimed for more than one digital
mode with the same station. |
|
Scores should be calculated as follows: |
|
|
For single-band entries: |
Multiply total QSO points x total multipliers.
E.g.10 QSOs x 10 points = 100 QSO points x 2 mults = 200 Points. |
|
For multi-band entries: |
Add QSO points for all bands then add the unique
multipliers. multiply total QSO points by total multipliers. (multipliers
count like the WPX Contest i.e.. once only, and not once per band, and not
once per mode)
A sample log is shown to illustrate how multi-band scores are claimed:
Duplicate contacts and comments are included to clarify rules. |

RESTRICTIONS:
|
Contacts on cross modes or cross bands will not
count.Operators are not allowed to transmit two or more signals at the
same time on the same band. Entries which contain errors or unmarked
duplicates are liable to a reduction of points. Any entrant who uses
methods contrary to the spirit of the contest may be subject to
disqualification. The decision of the SEANET contest organisers shall be
final. All stations may use Internet or Packet Cluster
"Spotting". Multi-band, multi-operator stations must not use
more than one transmitter/transceiver at the same time for contacts,
except that a second receiver/transceiver may be used for
"spotting" only. The "spotting" station must not
transmit or make any kind of contact. |
