RSGB 80m Club Championship 2007.
A series of short weekday evening contests on
80m, based around competition between affiliated societies.
Individual scores in every event count towards a society(s)
overall score so its important for the contest organiser to
get members to come on in as many sessions and as many modes
as possible. A rolling club listing will be maintained on
the HFCC web page www.rsgbhfcc.org.
Dates: Feb to July 2007 (See Calendar
for Specific Dates)
Time: 20:00-21:30 UTC (Feb, Mar)
- 19:00-20:30 UTC (Apr, May, Jun, July)
Mode: CW SSB Datamodes, see table
Exchange: RS(T) + serial number
1. Sections: (a) 100W maximum output
power; (b) 10W maximum output power.
Entrants may change section from one event to another. Stations
may be single or multi-operator.
2. Frequencies: CW 3.520-3.570 (QRS
Corral 3.550-3.570); SSB 3.600-3.650 & 3.700-3775; Datamodes
3.580-3.600.
** - Note: The frequency segment 3580 to 3583kHz
is reserved for PSK operation - stations operating PSK should
transmit only between these limits.Stations operating RTTY
should not attempt to make QSOs in this 3kHz segment.
3. Scoring: One point per.contact.
An entrant may be contacted once per session on cw or ssb,
and twice on datamodes (once per mode). The final score will
be normalised to the leading score in the section, with the
leading score being awarded 100 points and all other scores
expressed in proportion. A UK station is required to be at
one or both ends of a QSO for it to be valid.
In the datamodes contests, contact may be on RTTY, PSK31 or
PSK63 only.
** - Note: The same station may now be worked
on both datamodes scoring one point per mode.
The Cabrillo Mode Codes are as follows -
See an example
of 80m Club Championship Contest log. RTTY
- RY and PSK - PS.
4. Entries: Each session is a contest
in its own right, and log entries must be emailed within 10
days of the contest. Cabrillo format is preferred (Information
on preparing an entry in Cabrillo format can be found on the
HFCC web site). In order to count towards the total for an
affiliated society, the society name must be clearly indicated
on the entry. Societies may wish to appoint a coordinator
who can ensure that entries contain all required information
and are emailed on time. Entries should be e-mailed to the
following addresses:

5. Awards: At the end of the programme
in August, the affiliated society whose members have made
the highest aggregate score will receive the G5RV trophy,
and the second- and third-placed societies will be awarded
certificates. The individual stations making the top three
QSO totals on each mode in the 100W and 10W sections will
receive a certificate. The Foundation and Intermediate licensees
with the top three highest aggregate scores on each mode will
receive a certificate.
Note: There are no 80m events on Tuesdays,
to leave a space for the associated 2m events organised by
the VHFCC. Unlike the AFS contests there is no distance rule,
but societies may be asked to confirm that all entrants are
bona fide club members. Individual entrants may only operate
on behalf of one Affiliated Society.
In order that scores can be published quickly on the web site,
all entries must be via email and this is where a society(s)
contest organiser can help, by assisting members to prepare
their entries.
SD by EI5DI
fully supports all RSGB Contests.
Note that the 80m datamodes sessions should be logged in SD
as CW, and the 'Data' option chosen when preparing the Cabrillo
entry file using SDCHECK.
