Does anyone know when it may be a good time to try calling the 24-hour order
line to order software from K1EA Software?
I have been trying off and on for the last couple of weeks at various times
during the days and have only had the phone answered once and then a
computer voice asked for a remote command!?
Thanks, Mark, KE7NS

GENERAL RULES FOR SCANDINAVIANS:
1. Aim of the contest.
To encourage activity on the part of Scandinavia and non-
Scandinavian amateurs to work each other and to promote
communication skills between amateur stations world-wide. Non-
Scandinavian stations will try to work as many Scandinavian
stations as possible.
Scandinavian stations are defined by prefixes as follows:
LA/LB/LG/LJ (Norway), JW (Svalbard and Bear Island), JX (Jan
Mayen), OF/OG/OH/OI (Finland), OF0/OG0/OH0 (Aland Islands),
OJ0 (Market Reef), OX (Greenland), OY (Faroe Islands), OZ
(Denmark), SI/SJ/SK/SL/SM/7S/8S (Sweden) and TF(Iceland).
2. Eligible entrants.
Radio amateurs as well as SWL's all over the world are invited to
participate.
3. Periods.
CW: 3rd full weekend in September. PHONE: 4th full weekend in
September. Starts 1500 UTC Saturday and ends 1800 UTC
Sunday.
4. Sections.
a) Single Op./ Single TX/ All Bands, Single Op./ Single TX/ Single
Band, Single Op./ Single TX/ All Bands QRP.
Single operator: One person performs all operating and logging
functions. The use of the DX-cluster is allowed. QRP operators
may use stations with maximum input 10 watts.
b) Multi Op./ Single TX/ All Bands.
The use of the DX-cluster is allowed. Only one signal allowed at
any time on any band in single TX classas. Main station must
remain on band at least 10 minutes. Exception: On other band it is
allowed to work a station, if it is a new multiplier. Also this
multiplier station must remain on band at least 10 minutes. This 10
minutes starts when a QSO on that band is worked.
c) Multi Op./ Multi TX/ All Bands.
The use of the DX-cluster is allowed. There are no restrictions on
the number of transmitters. Only one signal is allowed per band at
any time. All stations must locate within the circle whose diameter
is maximum of 500 meters.
d) SWL.
Only Single Operator/ All Bands. Log must contain: Date/ Time
UTC, band, Scand.stn hrd, msg sent by Scand stn, SWL's own
report, stn wkd by Scand. stn, multiplier, points. Only
Scandinavian stations may be logged for points. Scoring as for
transmitting section.
5. Bands.
3.5 - 7 - 14 - 21 - 28 MHz according to IARU band plans.
(N.B.: 3560-3600, 3650-3700, 14060-14125 and 14300-14350
kHz to be kept free of contest traffic except when this conflicts
with national regulations. In that case split-operation must be
used.
6. Exchanges.
Consists of RS(T) plus serial number, starting from 001. (e.g.
59(9)001). QSO's after 999 are numbered 1000, 1001 etc. The
same station may be worked once on each band. Only CW/CW
and PHONE/PHONE QSO's are valid.
7. Scoring.
European stations give two (2) points per every complete contact.
DX contacts give three (3) points per QSO.
The following change in rules is made because there has been
different rules published in each of the Scandinavian countries:
If non-Scandinavian station is not working contest and does not
give a contest message, you can still work it and log the QSO
normally. Put a note for the QSO that station didn't give message.
You can mark 000 or 001 to message field so that your contest
software understands to log QSO. All the QSOs without serial
number are valid for QSO points and multipliers.
8. Multipliers.
Worked DXCC countries are valid for multiplier on every band.
9. Final score.
Multiply the sum of QSO-points on all bands with the sum of
multipliers worked on all bands.
10. Logs.
Signed original logs (or copies of original logs) must be submitted
separately for CW and PHONE. Logs to be filled out in the
following order: Date and time (UTC)- station worked- sent and
received exchange- band- multipliers and points.
SWL-log must contain: Date and time (UTC)- band- stn hrd- msg
sent by stn- SWL's own report- stn wkd by stn- multipliers- points.
Summary sheet.
All entrants must be followed by a summary sheet showing station
call sign, category, name of operator(s) and address. Indicate
number of QSO's per band less duplicates, number of duplicates
per band, multipliers per band, QSO-points per band and final
score.
Multiplier sheet.
All entrants muts submit a multiplier sheet for each band with
more than 200 QSO's.
Duplicate QSO sheet.
Possible duplicate QSO's must be shown in the log and counted
for zero (0) points. Each entrant shall submit a duplicate QSO
sheet for each band with more than 200 QSO's. Duplicate sheet
to contain worked stations listed e.g. by DXCC-countries and call
areas.
Logs on diskette.
IBM/MS-DOS PC-standard computerized logs are highly
recommended to be submitted on diskette (3.5" or 5.25"). Used
database format is not critical, but it must be an ASCII-file. For
example ARRL log standard is accepted. Basic rules: Only one
QSO/row. Each row must contain the following information: Date,
time (full UTC), call, sent(full exchange), received (full exchange),
multiplier (if multiplier-QSO), points (dupes must be marked as 0),
band, mode.
If you send your log on diskette, paper log is not necessary.
Summary sheet must always be on paper. Diskette must be
clearly labelled with call, contest name, class and date of the
contest. CW and PHONE portions can be on same diskette. A
SASE is needed if you want your diskette returned.
11. Declaration.
By her/his signature on the summary sheet the participant
declares that all the rules are observed and that the station was
operated in accordance with the rules and regulations for amateur
radio stations in the country of the participant.

SSA in that order. For correct address, see the heading.
13. Closing date.
Logs and accompanying sheets, addressed to the organizing
League, shall be mailed not later than October 31st the year of
the contest.
14. Awards.
Transmitting sections:
The top scorers in each country (QRO) on both CW and PHONE,
will receive a Contest Award, provided a reasonable score is
made. Winner stations will also receive contest plaque on each
multi band category.
QRP operators will be listed in one common list for all
Scandinavians.
Depending on the number of entrants of each country, additional
certificates will be awarded by the Contest Committee.
SWL:
The top scorer in Scandinavia will receive an award. Depending
on the number of entrants the Contest Committee will award
additional certificates.
15. Dispute.
Violation of Amateur Radio Regulations in the country of the
contestant or of the rules of this contest, unsportsmanlike conduct
and the taking of credit for unverifiable QSO's or multipliers may
lead to disqualification. A log showing more than one (1) percent
unremoved duplicate QSO's results in unconditional
disqualification. Each unremoved duplicate QSO found by Contest
Committee results in a penalty of five (5) QSO's of the same value
as the duplicate.
The decisions by the Contest Committee are final and definite.
Right to change in these rules are reserved.

OT5T will run multi single from John, ON4UN's QTH, in the CQWW RTTY test,
next weekend.
Ops will be ON4UN, AB4MJ (now ON9CNC) and ON6TT.
Equipment will include two identical stations, each consisting of a
FT1000MP, PK900, P38, 2Kw amps, WF1B soft and ON4UN's antenna park.
We will use the contest to test drive the FT1000MP units which will be used
on Heard Island a bit later. (we're going to have three of those and three
FT900s).

Dorothea, VP2EE, and her OM, Dave, VP2EHF, were badly hit by the
recent
hurricane. Their antenna farm is no more, and two of their rigs lost
the
finals due to an eratic generator. Dorothea is getting on one of the 20
meter emergency nets daily, thanks to an R-7 planted in the garden.
They
don't anticipate power for at least two weeks, perhaps a month. Thanks
to several stateside hams, notably WB1HBB es KO8O, water purification
tablets and other needed supplies have made it down to them. Their
house
was damaged, and the water, obviously, isn't good. However, nothing
keeps that hearty couple down!
I'm sure all of us who have operated from that great QTH wish them the
best!
