Sections
Open
(O)		 This section is for portable stations and multi-operator fixed stations
Stations not operating as a fixed station must use the /P callsign suffix. Entrants may omit the /P suffix if using a special contest callsign, that is callsigns consisting of a single 'G' or 'M', a regional locator (if operating outside England) and a single suffix letter. This does not preclude the use of /A or /M where appropriate.
Single Op Fixed
(SF)		 Stations must operate from permanent and substantial buildings located at the main station address as shown on the licence validation document. The spirit of the contest will be paramount.

Special Rules for this Contest
S1
Instead of 1 point / km scoring (rule 5a), scores will be calculated at 1 point / QSO.
S8
These contests are timed to co-incide with the last two hours of a number of European activity contests, with an extra half hour at the end to encourage intra UK activity. They take place on Tuesdays from 2000-2230 local time with 144 MHz on the 1st Tuesday of the month, 432 MHz on the 2nd Tuesday, 1.3 GHz / 2.3 GHz on the 3rd Tuesday, 50 MHz on the 4th Tuesday, and 70 MHz where there is a 5th Tuesday in the month.

Please submit an entry after each session in which you are active. In order to speed adjudication entries will only be accepted by e-mail or web entry and must be sent within 10 days of the contest.

Scores will be normalised for each session as follows.
Score for each session = (Score achieved x 1000) divded by (Session leaders score).
At the end of the year, on each band an overall score will be calculated from the best 8 normalised session scores.
It is impossible for you to determine your best sessions without knowing everyone else's scores, so please submit your logs and scores from all sessions in which you were active and allow the adjudicator to calculate your best sessions.

Stations may move location between individual activity periods.

Certificates will be awarded to the overall winners and runners-up in each section and on each band in the same way as per the general rules. No certificates will be awarded for the individual events.
S9
a. The individual entries by a club's members to the 2m UK activity contests which take place on 2m from 2000-2230 LOCAL time on the 1st Tuesday in every month all count towards a society's overall score for the year. The 2m UKACs are short contests with a straightforward scoring scheme which are simple enough for beginners and have high activity to keep more experienced contesters interested. To maximise the club score, it's important for the club contest organiser to get as many members to come on for as many sessions as possible. A rolling club listing will be maintained on the VHFCC web site www.rsgbcc.org

b. Stations enter the 2m UKAC contest in the normal way, but need to include an AFS (affiliated society) name in the cover sheet of their entry. Entries to all sections of the UKAC count towards the overall club score which is the simple sum of the scores of each team member operating that month.

c. To determine the winner at the end of the year, the leading club each month will be awarded 1000 points, and all other club scores for that month will be normalised by the formula

Normalised score for each session = (Total club score x 1000)/ (Leading club score)

d. The G6NB Trophy will be awarded to the club with the highest score at the end of the year. All 12 sessions will count towards the total club score.
