ACTIVITY 160 M

  1. Contest determination

    The contest is open for all stations and is held in two independent parts: SSB and CW. The SSB part runs on each first Monday of the month, the CW part on each second Monday of the month. Each part lasts one hour and starts in November to March at 20:30 UTC, in April to October at 19:30 UTC. Each part consists of 12 monthly rounds each year. A station may participate in any number of rounds. The contest runs on 160 m band in the frequency segment 1850 to 1950 kHz.

  2. Categories

    Single operator, low power (SOLP)
    Single operator, QRP (SOQRP)
    SWL
    Low power is power up to 100 W, QRP up to 5 W. Note there are various national limits for the 160 m band (e.g. in OK: 1850-1890 kHz - 75 W, 1890-2000 kHz - 10 W).

  3. Exchange

    An exchange consist of RS or RST and three digit serial number (e.g. 59 001 or 599 001).

  4. Points

    Each QSO counts one point; no multipliers. For SWL: one heard station counts one point.The round score is a sum of the points in the round and is reported to the contest evaluator.

  5. Content of the report

    The report contents own call, mode, contest round, score and category (e.g. OK1XXX CW 09/2012 28 SOLP. This means that OK1XXX reports 28 points in CW round of September 2012 in category low power). Missing category is evaluated as category SOLP). A subject of a report sent via Packet or e-mail should contain own call, mode and round (e.g. OK1XXX CW 09/2012).
    A short note up to 30 characters may be added to the report. The note should inform on operator (X/YL, junior op, etc.) and equipment (power, antenna, QRPP up to 1 W). The note will be published in the round results list. More comments (up to 2000 characters) can be included in soapbox. The soapbox is published at the end of the round result list.
    An electronically sent report shall contain no other than above shown data (the additional data could be lost due the automatic report processing). By handing over his report, the contestant declares that all the reported data are correct and that he observed both contest rules and national ham radio operation rules. Therefore, no special declaration is required.

  6. Handing over the report

    The preferred form which practically excludes any additional human errors is to use the form at http://www.a160.net. There are also instructions how to use it. If there appears any problem with the form, he report can be sent via e-mail, via packet, or via snail mail. See paragraph 10 for the respective addresses.

  7. Reports receipt deadline

    The report receiving period ends 14 days after finishing the relevant contest round. The deciding is the moment of receiving the report bt the contest evaluator.

  8. Contest logs

    The contest logs are not obligatory in this contest, however each contestant may send his log of his own accord in electronic form as a *.TXT, *.DOC, *.PDF, *.ZIP, or *.XLS file. Other file format will be rejected as well as files exceeding 50 kB. The sender responds for the content of the file. It is highly recommended to use the Cabrillo format (http://www.kkn.net/~trey/Cabrillo_v2/ or http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/). The log can be uploaded by means of the form http://www.a160.net or as an e-mail attachment. No other way is possible. The logs are accepted in the same time as the reports and they are published after the reports receipt was closed. Links to the logs are published on the round results list end.

  9. List of results

    After the reports receipt is closed the list of results is generated. Simultaneously, the data are supplied to the running year results table. The year result for each station is the sum of all round results of the station in the year. The scores for CW-LOW, CW-QRP, CW-SWL, SSB-LOW, SSBQRP and SSB-SWL are calculated separately. The results are accessible on http://www.a160.net and on http://www.crk.cz/CZ/RESULTC.HTM. In addition, in OK and OM the results are published in the packet network.
