RSGB VHF/UHF/SHF Contests 2011
A number of changes have
been made to the UK Activity Contests this year.
- In all UKACs Square multipliers will only count when the station worked is
located in the UK (G, GW, GM, GI, GD, GU, GJ)
- A new Low Power section has been added to all UKACs
- A new section aimed at DX'ers has been added to all UKACs below
23cms. The active use of the DX cluster and chat rooms (E.g. ON4KST) will
be allowed in this section, but scores will not count towards a club total.
- The 23cms and 13cms UKACs have been split. A new "13cms
to 10GHz" contest will now run for 2 hours on the 4th Tuesday of each
month.
- The 6m backpackers will run along side the 6m UKACs during the
months of May, June, July and August.
The 4th 144MHz Backpackers contest has moved to a Saturday and
will be run along side the 144MHz Low Power contest. The timing and
dates for the 144MHz and 432MHz Low Power contests have not changed.
Entrants are reminded that all operators
of UK stations must be RSGB members except visiting amateurs, not
normally resident in the UK. However, the following contests require
only that the operator is a member of an RSGB Affiliated Society (AFS)
so long as the entry is on behalf of, or is related to, an entry for
that AFS.
The RSGB Contests
Committee, which organises these contests, welcomes ideas, feedback and
constructive criticism which can be e-mailed to chairman@rsgbcc.org or sent to any committee member.
