CQ/RTTY Journal WW RTTY Contest September 25-26
Rules
Contest period: Starts at 0000 UTC Saturday, and ends at 2400
UTC Sunday, a total of 48 hours. Not more than 30 hours of
operating time is allowed for single op stations. Off times
may be taken at any time during contest period, but may not be
less than 3 hours duration. All on and off times must be
clearly noted in the log and summary sheet. (Multi-op stations
may operate the full 48 hours).
Note: Single op stations may operate more than 30 hours, but
only the first 30 hours will count toward official score.
(This allows rarer DX to give their multiplier to more sta-
tions).
Bands: 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10m. (five bands).
Operator classes: There is now a high power category (more
than 150 watts) and a low power category (less than 150
watts). Only Single Op, All Band entrants, and Multi-op single
transmitter entries are eligible to enter the high or low
power categories. Enter one or the other, and so note in your
log. Single band Assisted and Multi-multi entries are not
eligible to enter these categories.
A) Single Op, All Band and Single Band. One person
performing all operating and logging functions. Use of
spotting nets, DX alert packet systems, telephone, etc.
is NOT permitted.
B) Single Op, Assisted, All Band only. One person performs
all operating and logging functions. However the use of
DX spotting nets or any other form of DX alerting
assistance is allowed. The operator can change bands at
any time. Single op stations are allowed only one
transmitted signal at any given time.
C) Multi-Op, Single Transmitter. All band entries only.
More than one person operates, logs, checks for dupes,
use of spotting, etc.
Note: Only one (1) transmitter and one (1) band permitted
during the same period (defined as ten (10) minutes). Once the
station has begun operation on a given band, it MUST remain on
that band for 10 minutes; listening time counts as operating
time. EXCEPTION: One, and only one, other band may be used
during the same time period if, and only if, the station
worked is a new multiplier. Logs found in violation of the ten
minute rule will be automatically reclassified as multi-multi
to reflect their actual status.
D) Multi-op, Multi-transmitter. All band entry only. No
limit to number of transmitters, but only one (1) signal per
band permitted. All transmitters must be located within a 500
metre diameter, or within the property limits of the station
licensee's address, whichever is greater. The antennas must be
physically connected by wires to the transmitter.
More next week.
A great contest. Be in it.
--------------------------------------------
And now an excerpt from W6IWO Dale Skinners column in the RTTY
Digital Journal of July-August 1993.
PACTOR popular?
If you have been listening on the bands of late, then you have
noticed the sudden increase in the use of PACTOR. Unlike most
new toys and improvements we Hams have received over the
years, I have never seen such excitement on the bands. (Except
maybe when SSB was first introduced). PACTOR is everywhere and
I am excited about this but with some reservations.
It seems that some operators in their enthusiasm, have slipped
some in respecting the other operating modes. It is important
that we all observe what semblance of a Gentlemens Agreement
bandplan we currently have. Please try to keep PACTOR and
other burst modes below .080 on the bands.
If it is too crowded when and where you wish to operate, may I
suggest to check out the WARC bands. I have been listening
there and find plenty of room for more operators.

IPS weekly report
-----------------
2 September - 9 September 1993
Issue no.: 37
Date of issue: 10 September 1993
Date 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
10cm 80 79 80 79 78 79 79
A 28 26 11 11 09 07 (03 estimated)
T 41 41 32 36 39 38 42
Summary of activity
Solar activity was very low throughout the period.
The geomagnetic field at Learmonth (WA) ranged from quiet
through to active on 3rd-5th then returned to quiet for the
remainder of the period. to 2nd September, and quiet to
unsettled 27th to 29th.
Ionospheric F2 critical frequencies at Sydney were depressed
all week by 5 to 40 per cent below predicted monthly values,
with some periods of near predicted values on 9th. Spread F
was observed at night on 4th-7th September.
Comment:
Critical frequencies at Sydney have been regularly depressed
this month relative to monthly predicted values. This has been
due to the monthly predictions being too high, rather than to
the occurrence of ionospheric activity.
Forecast for the next week (3 - 9 September)
Solar : Very low.
Geomagnetic: Active to minor storm levels from either late on
the 11th or early on the 12th, through until the
14th. Quiet levels are expected at other times.
Ionospheric: 30 to 60 per cent below monthly predicted values
13-14 September, and 10 to 30 per cent below
predicted monthly values at other times.
