- 1994 AMSAT Field Day Competition Announcement
-
- Field Day is once again just around the corner on June 25th and 26th, and
- we are proud to announce the 1994 AMSAT Field Day competition. Last year's
- effort was very successful and we will be using the same special rules.
- The AMSAT competition is to encourage the use of all amateur satellites,
- including the digital satellites.
-
- Here are the rules for the 1994 AMSAT Field Day competition.
-
- 1. ANALOG TRANSPONDERS
-
- Each satellite is considered a separate band. All phone QSO's and all CW
- QSO's on a given satellite are considered separate bands. All packet/RTTY
- /ASCII/AMTOR QSO's are counted as CW QSO's. Phone QSO's count for one
- point and CW QSO's count for two points. Cross-mode contacts are not
- allowed. The use of more than one transmitter at the same time in a single
- band is prohibited.
-
- 2. DIGITAL TRANSPONDERS
-
- Each satellite is considered a separate band. The following
- uploads/downloads each count as a CW contact (two points):
-
- (a) Upload of a Satellite Field Day Greetings file.
- (b) Download of Satellite Field Day Greetings files posted by
- other stations.
-
- Satellite digipeat QSO's do not count for any score. The use of gateway
- stations to uplink/downlink is not allowed.
-
- SAMPLE SATELLITE FIELD DAY GREETINGS FILE:
-
- "Greetings from WA5ZIB Field Day Satellite station near Galveston,
- Texas with 24 participating members. All the best and 73!"
-
- 3. OPERATING CLASS
-
- Stations supplied only with emergency power are in a separate operating
- class from those that utilize commercial power.
-
- The Satellite Summary Sheet shown below should be used for submittal of the
- AMSAT Field Day competition results to Andy MacAllister WA5ZIB, Vice Pres-
- ident User Services, 14714 Knights Way Drive, Houston, TX 77083-5640.
- Deadline for submissions is August 1, 1994.
-
- Competition was tough in 1993 and should be even tougher in 1994. We hope
- this competition provides satellite operators with the practice necessary
- to be able to set up a ground station and effectively operate the
- satellites in an emergency situation. Remember that Field Day also
- provides a good opportunity to give some newcomers a chance at operating
- the satellites. Most of all, it should be a lot of fun for all who
- participate.
-
- GOOD LUCK ON FD!
