YU7SF LACI 4 0 0 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- EU SPRINT 1997 The EU Sprint Gang hereby invites you to participate in the four European Sprint Contests held in 1997 Entrants: any licensed station may enter the Sprint. European stations can work everybody, stations outside of Europe can work only European stations. Categories: Single Operator ONLY. Only ONE signal may be aired at one time. Dates: EU SPRINT Autumn: SSB: first Saturday in October - 4 October 1997 - managed by I2UIY CW: second Saturday in October - 11 October 1997 - managed by OK2FD Time: from 15:00 UTC until 18:59 UTC. Bands: 20, 40 and 80 meters only. Pilot frequencies are: SSB: 14.250, 7.050, 3.730. CW: 14.040, 7.025, 3.550 Exchange: all of the following data MUST BE PART OF THE EXCHANGE: a) your callsign, b) the other station's callsign, c) your serial number starting from 001 (RST not required), d) your name or nickname. Please note that BOTH callsigns MUST be repeated by BOTH stations. A valid exchange is: "OK2FD de I2UIY 118 Paolo" while "OK2FD 118 Paolo" is NOT a valid exchange. Special QSY Rule: if any station initiates a call (by sending CQ, QRZ?, etc.), he is permitted to work ONLY one station on the same frequency. He must thereafter move AT LEAST 2 (two) kHz before he may call another station or before he may solicit again (CQ, QRZ?, etc.) other calls. Valid contacts: valid contacts are QSOs correctly logged and confirmed. Each operator may use ONE and ONLY one name during the Sprint. If the exchange is copied incorrectly, that operator will receive zero (0) points. In case of miscopied callsigns, both stations will receive zero (0) points for that QSO. Scoring: each valid QSO counts one 1 (one) point. The final score is the total number of QSOs. Awards: there are NO awards or prizes since these contests have been created to test the individual skills only. Results will be forwarded as soon as possible to Leagues, Magazines and bulletins. Logs: a single chronological log is required. PLEASE SEND US YOUR LOG ON A FLOPPY DISK. Use any of the available software or send a plain ASCII file. A separate summary sheet is required too.
