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.

12. Address for logs.
The arrangement alternates between NRRL, EDR, SRAL and 
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).

cu in the test.

 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!
