The ARRL announced the addition of Low Power categories for Multi-Single
and Single-Operator Assisted for the ARRL DX and November Sweepstakes
contests. (CQ WPX already recognizes SO Assisted LP.)
WRTC-2014 will handle these as follows:
- Multi-Single Low Power scores are multiplied by 0.9
- Single-Op Assisted Low Power scores are multiplied by 0.8 (not 0.8 x 0.9
= 0.72)
The Category Hierarchy is updated to include these two new categories (and
to show the original Multi-Single and Single-Op Assisted as High Power).
The WRTC 2014 Team Selection Criteria document is amended as follows:
Section 2: Added MS LP to the table of Category Weighting Factors. Also,
the phrase "2) All Assisted scores are calculated as High Power (i.e.,
there is no low power Assisted)." is replaced with "2) Single Op Assisted
scores are divided into HP and LP for ARRL DX and SS, and are grouped
together in all other contests that do not list power levels."
Section 5: The Category Order is revised to:
1) MM
2) M2
3) MS (only HP in ARRL DX, SS)
4) SO Assisted (only HP in ARRL DX, SS, CQ WPX)
5) SO HP (AB or SB)
6) SO Single Mode HP
7) MS LP (ARRL DX, SS only)
8) SO Assisted LP (ARRL DX, SS, CQ WPX only)
9) SO LP (AB or SB)
10) SO Single Mode LP
11) SO AB QRP
Appendix 1: Added a column for MSLP (no new column needed for SO(A) LP).
This updated document will be posted shortly on wrtc2014.org. Please
