Contest Period: 27 hours for all stations, all categories. Operate any portion of
the contest period you wish. (Note: Exception for QRP Hilltopper.)
II. Objectives: The objectives of this contest are for amateurs around the world to
contact as many amateurs as possible in the contest period, to promote VHF, to
allow VHF operators the opportunity to experience the enhanced propagation
available at this time of year, and for interested amateurs to collect VHF
Maidenhead grid locators for awards credits.
III. Bands: All authorized amateur radio frequencies on 50 MHz (6 meters) and 144 MHz (2 meters) may be used as authorized by local law and license class. IV. Assistance: There are three types of QSO alerting assistance:
1. Passive is defined as any technology that provides call sign and
frequency information of potential new contacts to the operator, not initiated by
the entrant. It includes, but is not limited to: The DX Cluster, spotting nets, packet
and web clusters, Skimmer, Reverse Beacon Network, and the like. Passive
assistance is allowed for all categories. No self-spotting is allow.
2. Active involves the direct initiation of QSO alerting information by, and
with the direct participation of, the entrant to benefit the entrant’s score. It
includes, but is not limited to, self-spotting or by stealth (such as asking other
stations to spot you). Active QSO alerting assistance is permitted only by
stations attempting digital EME or digital meteor-scatter contacts. Stations calling
CQ using such modes are limited to spotting call sign, frequency, and sequence
only. Caution: To ensure strict compliance with these rules, the adjudication
process will include review of real-time and archived transcripts from websites
used to coordinate active alerting data during the contest period.
3. Interactive includes any two-way conversation (or variation thereof)
between stations to effect a QSO. This includes use of the telephone, and website
posts providing information beyond that of call sign, frequency, and sequence.
Interactive QSO alerting is prohibited for all categories during the contest
period.
V. Categories of Competition: For all categories: Transmitters and receivers
must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle or within the property limits of
the station licensee’s address, whichever is greater.
1. Single Operator—All Band. Only one signal allowed at any one time;
the operator may change bands at any time.
2. Single Operator—Single Band. Only one signal allowed at any one
time.
3. Single-Operator All-Band QRP. There are no location restrictions –
home or portable – for stations running 10 watts output or less.
4. Hilltopper. This is a single-op QRP portable category for an all-band
entry limited in time to a maximum of 6 continuous hours. Backpackers and
portables who do not want to devote resources and time to the full contest period
are encouraged to participate, especially to activate rare grids. Any power source
is acceptable.
5. Rover. A Rover station is one manned by no more than two operators,
travels to more than one grid location, and signs “Rover” or “/R” with no more
than one call sign.
6. Multi-Op. A multi-op station is one with two or more operators and may
operate 6 and 2 meters simultaneously with only one signal per band.
Stations in any category, except Rover and QRP Hilltopper, may operate from any
single location, home or portable.
VI. Exchange: Call sign and Maidenhead grid locator (4 characters, e.g., EM15).
Signal reports are optional and should not be included in the log entry.
VII. Multipliers: The multiplier is the number of different grid locators worked
per band. A “grid locator” is counted once per band. Exception: The rover who
moves into a new grid locator may count the same grid locator more than once per
band as long as the rover is himself or herself in a new grid locator location. Such
change in location must be clearly indicated in the rover’s log.
1. A rover station becomes a new QSO to the stations working him or her when that rover changes grid locator. 2. The grid locator is the four character Maidenhead grid (e.g. EM15). VIII. Scoring: One (1) point per QSO on 50 MHz and two (2) points per QSO on 144 MHz. Work stations once per band, regardless of mode. Multiply total QSO points times total number of grid locators (GL) worked. Rovers: For each new grid locator visited, contacts and grid locators count as new.
Final Rover score is the sum of contact points made from each grid locator times
the sum of all grid locators worked from all grids visited.
Example 1. K1GX works stations as follows:
50 QSOs (50 x 1 = 50) and 25 GLs (25 multipliers) on 50 MHz
35 QSOs (35 x 2 = 70) and 8 GLs (8 multipliers) on 144 MHz
K1GX has 120 QSO points (50 + 70 = 120) x 33 multipliers (25 + 8 = 33) = 3,960
total points.
Example 2. W9FS/R works stations as follows:
From EN52: 50 QSOs (50 x 1 = 50) and 25 GLs (25 multipliers) on 50 MHz
From EN52: 40 QSOs (40 x 2 = 80) and 10 GLs (10 multipliers) on 144 MHz
From EN51: 60 QSOs (60 x 1 = 60) and 30 GLs (30 multipliers) on 50 MHz
From EN51: 20 QSOs (20 x 2 = 40) and 5 GLs (5 multipliers) on 144 MHz
W9FS/R has 230 QSO points (50 + 80 + 60 + 40) x 70 multipliers (25 + 10 + 30 +
5) = 16,100 total points
IX. Awards: Certificates suitable for framing will be awarded to the top-scoring
stations in each category in each country. Certificates may also be awarded to
other top-scoring stations that show outstanding contest effort. Certificates will be
awarded to top-scoring stations in each category in geographic areas where
warranted.
Geographic areas include states (U.S.), provinces (Canada), and countries, and
may also be extended to include other subdivisions as justified by competitive
entries. U.S. rover certificates are issued on a regional basis.
Plaques again will be awarded to the highest scoring stations. They are offered in
various categories on a sponsored basis. Clubs and individual plaque donors are
sought and may find information on how to sponsor a CQ WW VHF Contest
plaque at <
http://www.cqww-vhf.com/plaques.htm>.
X. Club Competition: Credit your club for aggregate club score. See <http://
www.cqwww.com/clubnames.htm> for a list of registered clubs. Follow directions
for registering your club if not already registered.
XI. Miscellaneous: An operator may sign only one call sign during the contest.
This means that an operator cannot generate QSOs by first signing his call sign,
then signing his daughter’s call sign, even though both call signs are assigned to
the same location.
A station located exactly on a dividing line of a grid locator must choose only
one grid locator from which to operate for exchange purposes.
A different multiplier cannot be given out without moving the complete station at
least 100 meters.
Making or soliciting QSOs on the national simplex frequency, 146.52 MHz, or
your country’s designated national simplex frequency, or immediately adjacent
guard frequencies, is prohibited. Use of commonly recognized repeater
frequencies is prohibited. Recognized FM simplex frequencies such as 146.49,
.55, and .58, and local-option simplex channels may be used for contest purposes.
Aeronautical mobile contacts do not count.
Contestants should respect use of the DX window, 50.100–50.125 MHz, for
intercontinental QSOs only.
UTC is the required logging time.
XII. Declaration: Your submission of a log entry affirms that: (1) you have
abided by all the rules of the contest as well as those of your country’s licensing
authority; (2) you accept any decisions made regarding your entry by the contest’s
adjudication process which are official and final.
