Here is some detail you can’t do without if you plan to enter this contest (or take advantage of it to work a few rare ones):

CONTEST EXCHANGE: RS report plus CQ Zone number of your station location (e.g., 59 15)

Score: The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of zone and country multipliers. Example: 1000 QSO points * (30 Zones + 70 Countries) = 100,000 (final score).

QSO Points: Stations may be contacted once on each band. QSO points are based on the location of the station worked.

1. Contacts between stations on different continents count three (3) points.
2. Contacts between stations on the same continent but in different countries count one (1) point. Exception: Contacts between stations in different countries within the North American boundaries count two (2) points.
3. Contacts between stations in the same country have zero (0) QSO point value, but are permitted for zone or country multiplier credit.

Multipliers: There are two types of multipliers.

1. Zone: A multiplier of one (1) for each different CQ Zone contacted on each band. The CQ Worked All Zones rules are the standard.
2. Country: A multiplier of one (1) for each different country contacted on each band. The DXCC entity list, Worked All Europe (WAE) multiplier list plus IG9/IH9, and continental boundaries are the standards for defining country multipliers. Maritime mobile stations count only for a zone multiplier.

The rules can be found at: http://www.cqww.com/rules.htm.

YJ8RN/P – Banks Islands, OC-104

Stuie, VK8NSB updates DX-World readers with news regarding Ron, YJ8RN visiting the Banks Islands, Vanuatu.

I have been speaking to Rod, YJ8RN and he updates on what he’s doing in November. Dates are yet to be confirmed, but he plans to be travelling to a couple of islands in the OC-104 IOTA group. He advises that he will be on at least four sites over a 2-week period. Hi work comes first but he will take amateur radio equipment and if time permits hopes to be active on 80m, 40m and 20m SSB with perhaps some PSK 31. Due to the remote location of a couple of the sites he will only be running 100w (possibly less) from 100 Ah batteries. He did mention that if conditions were good he possibly might stay an extra week on one of the islands for the main purpose of operating Amateur Radio.

FT5XT – Kerguelen Island

Gildas, F4HQZ (ex-TU5KG) will again be active as FT5XT from Kerguelen Island on Thursday or Friday this week. Activity on 15 or 20m when time permits.

Logs sent to QSL manager (F4DXW) on return home in December.

Note: Gildas is captain of a fishing vessel which sails in the FT5 area for up to 3 months so activity from Crozet (as FT5WQ) or FT5XT can be sporadic. He sometimes signs FT5XT/MM.

Holiday style IOTA activity. October 13-18, 2016

Second leg of the trip is over. The flight was overbooked so our standby tickets didn't give us a big chance to fly but everything finished well. We had got seats and arrived to Panama City.

After a short sightseeing tour we are going to fly to Bocas del Toro on Wednesday. See you on air soon!
