2000 QRP to the Field Sponsored by the NorCal QRP Club Theme: "Run to the Borders" Contest Period: April 22nd, 1600Z to 2400Z. CW HF QRP Only (5W max), no WARC bands, standard QRP calling freqs. Stations operating from a state/province/country border get an extra multiplier for each SPC intersecting at their *exact* location. Example: KI6DS operates from the CA-AZ border, getting x2 Border Operator multi, and must give a signal report from each state (Example: "579 CA, 579 AZ"). Stations working KI6DS would get SPC credit for each state, as well as QSO pts for each separate signal report received. Exchange: RST and SPC (Stations operating on a state/DX border must give a separate RST for each state, province or country.) Example: (Field op on CA/AZ border) "559 CA, 559 AZ" Points: 5 pts per QSO. Stations working Border Operators score 5 pts per report received, and should log each state/report separately. Multipliers: SPC Total (each counts once per band). Border Operator - Number of SPCs intersecting at your position. Location - Home = x2, Field = x4 (Field = battery power and temporary antennas). Final Score: QSO points x SPCs x Location X Border Operator Multi. Awards: Top Ten Scores Certificates Send logs by 6/1/99 to: Joe Gervais AB7TT, NorCal Contest Manager, PO Box 1822, Goodyear, AZ, 85338, or via email to: vole@primenet.com.
