The run and multiplier transmitters are governed by independent 10-minute rules. Exception: One - and only one - other transmitted signal (multiplier station/signal) may be used duringĪny 10-minute period, if - and only if - it is on a different band from the run transmitter and the station worked is a new multiplier. Multi-Single: Only one transmitted signal on one band permitted during any 10-minute period (run station/signal). Only one transmitted signal per band is permitted at any time.ġ. Multi-Operator Categories (all-band operation only): Any number of operators is allowed. Indicate the birth year in the SOAPBOX field.Ĭ.

Youth (YOUTH): The operator was 25 years old or younger at the start of the contest. Previous Rookie winners are ineligible for plaquesģ. Indicate the date first licensed in the SOAPBOX field. Rookie (ROOKIE): The operator was first licensed as a radio amateur less than three (3) years before the date of the contest. Single Operator Assisted entries are not eligible for this category.Ģ. Receiving while transmitting is prohibited. If the log shows more than 24 hours of operation, only the first 24 hours will be counted for the overlay score. Classic Operator (CLASSIC): The entrant will use only one radio, no QSO finding assistance, and may operate up to 24 of the 48 hours – off times are a minimum of 60 minutes during

OverlayĬategory entries will be listed separately in the results scored as All Bands and grouped by High Power and Low Power (includes QRP).ġ. Single Operator Overlay Categories: Any Single Operator entrant who meets the requirements may ALSO enter one of the categories shown below by adding the appropriate CATEGORY-OVERLAY line in the Cabrillo log file header. Total output power must not exceed 5 watts.ī. Low Power Assisted (All Band or Singleīand): Total output power must not exceed 100 watts.Ĭ. High Power Assisted (All Band or Singleīand): Total output power must not exceed 1500 watts.ī. Single Operator Assisted: Entrants in this category may use QSO finding assistance (see VIII.2).Ī. QRP (All Band or Single Band): Total output power must not exceed 5 watts.Ģ. Total output power must not exceed 100 watts.Ĭ. High Power (All Band or Single Band): Total output power must not exceed 1500 watts. Single Operator: QSO finding assistance of any kind is prohibited (see VIII.2).Ī. Only one transmitted signal is permitted at any time.ġ. There is no limit on operating time or band changes. Single Operator Categories: One person (the operator) performs all operating and logging functions. Maritime mobile stations count only for a zone multiplier.Ī.

The DXCC entity list, Worked All Europe (WAE) multiplier list plus IG9/IH9, and continental boundaries are the standards for defining country multipliers. Country: A multiplier of one (1) for each different country contacted on each band.The CQ Worked All Zones rules are the standard. Zone: A multiplier of one (1) for each different CQ Zone contacted on each band.Multiplier: There are two types of multipliers. Contacts between stations in the same country have zero (0) QSO point value, but count for zone and country multiplier credit.Ĭ.Exception: Contacts between stations in different countries within the North American boundaries count two (2) points. Contacts between stations on the same continent but in different countries count one (1) point.Contacts between stations on different continents count three (3) points.QSO points are based on the location of the station worked. QSO Points: Stations may be contacted once on each band. Score: The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of zone and country multipliers. CW: RST report plus CQ Zone (e.g., 599 05).Ī. CONTEST EXCHANGE: SSB: RS report plus CQ Zone number of the station location (e.g., 59 05). Observance of established band plans is strongly encouraged. OBJECTIVE: For amateurs around the world to contact as many other amateurs in as many CQ zones and countries as possible.
