Conditions seemed decent though I don't have other years from which to draw
experience in this contest. It was nice to have some sporadic E on 10 and
15. It just seemed that not enough people knew about it - especially on 10.
When in doubt...TRY IT!!
NA 9.03 choked on L3CW who called me on two bands. It would just lock up as
soon as I hit the space bar to move to the name field. Did anyone else have
this problem???
This was a lot of fun!!! Hope to be on again in January. Thanks to all for
the Qs.

Just got caught up on a week's worth of cq-contest. Splat.
Summers are to short here in ND to take NAQP seriously. Spent
some of the contest period swatting skeeters, I mean doing yard
work.
171 Q's x 69 M's = 11,799 5 hours, 27 minutes.
Did not get a BHCC team registered for this event. Not enought
interest to be competitive.
Will not be on much for the ssb event, my wife's retirement
party (from the USAF) conflicts.

My second NAQP. Thanks to fellow NERD K7SV for being the only one to
work me on all 6 bands. Apologies to AB6FO for two dupes after I
logged him as AB6F. Struggled to work KF0H on 10 at about 00Z and then
about 20 minutes later the ion cloud moved in and everybody in Wisconsin
was S9 on 10! Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks to all and 73, Larry

Limited to somewhat more than 8 hours. My vertical got zapped by lightning
the previous Wednesday -- seemed to be working OK after replacing a fried
PL-259 and an antenna switch, but started loading flaky on 80 meters during
the contest. Found out Sunday that the 80 meter trap took a hit as well,
partially vaporizing an internal connecting screw. Fixed, works OK now.
A humble offering, but fun as usual!

Hi there,
In about two weeks, I'll be attending the IEEE annual EMC symposium in
Chicago, IL. We will have a day off on August 21'st (Sunday) and it would
be great to meet some local contesters. If there's anyone in the
surroundings
of "the windy city" that could show us their setup, we will stay at the
Palmer
House Hilton. (us = me and Petter / SM3PXO)

| European DX Contest 1994 |
+--------------------------+
CW : Aug. 13 - 14
SSB: Sept. 10 - 11
RTTY: Nov. 12 - 13
+- Attention ----------------+
0000 UTC Saturday - 2400 UTC Sunday | From 1994 the WAEDC is |
| back to the 48-hour format!|
+----------------------------+
For more detailed information please write to
WAEDC Committee, P.O.Box 1126, D-74370 Sersheim, Germany
(SAE/IRC).
This is the 40th annual contest sponsored by the DARC. The acti-
vity will be between European countries and the rest of the world
(except RTTY where everybody works everybody).
Bands:
------
3.5 - 7 - 14 - 21- 28 MHz. Minimum operating time on a band is 15
minutes. A quick band change is allowed to work new multipliers.
Classes:
--------
(A) Single operator, all bands.
(B) Multi-operator, single transmitter. Only one signal may be on
the air at any given time.
(C) SWL.
Note: DX packet cluster spotting is allowed in all classes.
Only 36 hours of operating time out of the 48-hour contest period
are permitted for single operator stations. The 12-hour off time
may be taken in one, but not more than 3 periods any time during
the contest and must be indicated in the log. Off time must be at
least 1 hour.
Exchange: RS(T) plus QSO number starting with 001.
---------
Points:
-------
One point per QSO. If QTC traffic (see there) is made, one point
for each complete QTC.
QTC Traffic:
------------
Additional point credit may be earned by making use of the QTC
traffic feature. A QTC is a report of a confirmed QSO that took
place earlier in the contest.A QTC can only be sent by a non-Euro-
pean station back to a European station. (But only once and not to
the station reported in the QTC.) The general idea is that after a
number of Europeans have been worked by a DX station, a list of
these QSOs can be reported back during a QSO with another European
station.
A QTC contains the time, call and QSO number of the station being
reported (i.e. 1234 DF0AA 031, which means that DF0AA has been
worked at 1234 UTC and gave serial number 031).
DX: A maximum of 10 QTCs to a EU station is allowed.
EU: You can receive a maximum of 10 QTCs from a DX station.
(Exception RTTY, which allows transmitting and receiving of QTCs,
but not between the same continent. The sum of QTCs sent and re-
ceived between two stations must not exceed 10.)
A station can be worked several times to complete the number of 10
QTCs. QTCs are sent in series. 3/7 indicates that this is the
third series of QTCs and 7 QTCs are being reported.
Multiplier:
-----------
The multiplier for Europeans is determined by the number of DXCC
countries outside Europe worked on each band. The multiplier for
non-Europeans is determined by the number of European countries
worked on each band (see WAE country list). In the RTTY part the
multiplier is determined by the number of countries worked on the
WAE/DXCC country lists.
Bonus Multiplier: Multiply your multiplier on 80 meters by 4, on
40 meters by 3, and on 20/15/10 meters by 2.
Final score:
------------
Total QSO points plus total QTC points times the sum total multi-
plier from all bands. (i.e.:
(200 QSOs + 100 QTCs) * 80 multiplier points = 24000 final score)
SWL:
----
Only single operator, all band class may be used. The same call
sign, European or non-European, may be logged only once per band.
The log must contain both call signs of a QSO and at least one of
the control numbers. Each call sign counts one point,each complete
QTC one point (only a maximum of ten QTCs per station). You can
count up to two QSO points and two multipliers in one QSO.
The multiplier is determined by the DXCC and WAE country lists.
Club competition:
-----------------
Club members must operate within a 500 km diameter and the club is
required to be a local club, not a national organization. To be
listed, three entries from a club are requested and the club's
score is determined by its member scores in the CW, SSB and RTTY
part of the WAEDC. A special trophy will be awarded by the DARC to
the winning clubs from Europe and Non-Europe.
Certificates and plaques:
-------------------------
Certificates are awarded to the top scorers in each class in each
country.
Continental winners will receive a plaque.
Logs:
-----
It is suggested that you use the official DARC or equivalent log
forms. Submit a dupe sheet for each band. A summary sheet showing
the scoring and signed declaration is required. Logs may be sub-
mitted on a disk. The 5,25 or 3,5 inch disk must be MS-DOS format-
ted (40 or 80 tracks) and the ASCII files must contain all contest
QSO information in the same order as the usual paper logs.
Deadline:
---------
Logs must be postmarked no later than September 15th for the CW
section,October 15th for the SSB section and December 15th for the
RTTY section.
