All MI-QRP Club contests/sprints are run under the rules below.
All contests/sprints will be run on 160 thru 6 Meters (no WARC bands).
All amateurs are invited to participate.
| Classes | A - 250 milliwatts or less output. B - One watt to 250 milliwatts output. C - Five watts to one watt output. D - Over five watts output. |
| Exchange | RST, QTH (State/Province/Country) and MI-QRP Membership Number (non-members send power-output). |
| Scoring | Stations may be worked once per band for QSO points. All member contacts are 5 points. Non member contacts in W & VE are 2 points. Non member contacts outside W & VE are 4 points. Multiply total QSO Points, on all bands, by the total number of States/Provinces/Countries worked on all bands for total points. U.S. & Canada do not count as countries. |
| Bonus Points | Total points may be multiplied by 1.25 for home brew RX or TX w/commercial RX or TX combinations. Multiply by
1.5 for a total homebrew station. Home brew = any kit or home made gear, it is not necessary for you to have built it
yourself. Those using homebrew gear on some, but not all bands, may claim credit by listing the proper bonus points in each band's "BPts" column on the score sheet, adding them up and dividing by the number of bands used. Enter the average (round to 2 decimal places) in the "Totals" row, under the "BPts" column. I'll do this for you if you give me adequate rig info on each band. |
| Awards | Certificates awarded by class for high score in each State/Province/Country. |
| Logs | A legible, chronological log is required within 30 days after the contest. Please include your name, call, address,
equipment description and POWER OUTPUT . Results will be printed in the next issue of The Five Watter. Final
decision on any contest matters rest with the contest manager. All logs to: L. T. SWITZER N8CQA Log and entry sheets available for an SASE to the above. |
