Original - QRP - Contest

Participants	Operators of original QRP rig, commercial or homebrew, including industrial QRP rig exceeding 5w output like QRP Plus, FT-7 and QRP versions of QRO-tranceivers like TS-130 V, FT-707S etc. QRO-equipment (>20W out) only temporarily tuned down to QRP criteria is not allowed.
Date	Summer: 1st weekend in July. Winter: 1st weekend after Christmas. Saturday 1500 UTC till Sunday 1500 UTC, rest period of 9 hours minimum in one or two parts.
Frequencies	CW segments of the 80-, 40-, and 20m band.
Call	CQ OQRP (Original QRP).
Categories	V L P (1W out or 2W in) Q R P (5W out or 10W in) M P (20W out or 40W in)
Operation	Single-op CW. Various TX or TRX may be operated, but only one at the same time.
Exchange	RST, serial-no./category e.g. 559001/VLP. No series reports, please.
QSO-Points	The log checker counts 4 points for a QSO with another contest station whose log has come in. All other QSO count 1 point. The exchange RST is sufficient with stations not in contest.
Multiplier	The log checker counts 2 multiplier points for each DXCC-country from a QSO with a station whose log has come in. Otherwise each DXCC-country counts 1 multiplier point per band.
Final Score	Sum of QSO-points multiplied by the sum of multiplier-points. (Calculated by the log checker. Don't try your own calculation: you can't foresee who will send his log and who will not). So every log is important, even just 3 QSO on a picture postcard from your holiday location!
Summary sheet	Must show name, address, callsign and the minimum rest periods. Indicate the types of all TX/TRX used with out- or input on each band according to manufacturer or measured under contest conditions. Homebrew rigs descriptions should name pa- transistor or- tube and possibly a reference (e.g. SPRAT No...).
Logs	List QSO for each band separately. Add the DXCC prefix if you claim a multiplier for a QSO.
Deadline	Summer: July 31st. Winter: January 31st. Logs go to: Dr. Hartmut Weber, DJ7ST Schlesierweg 13 D-38228 Salzgitter Germany
