Dear friends,
ES hams invite you to participate in ES OPEN
HF Championship 2016 that will take place on Saturday, April 16th, from 0500 to
0859 UTC on 40m and 80m in SSB and CW at the same time!
International winners get special trophies
from ERAU plus all country winners will be awarded. There is also a special LP
trophy.
Please check the results and rules from www.erau.ee:

Reacting to the feedback we have modified
the rules to allow more QSOs with ES stations and make it
simpler!
The contest consists of 4 equal one hour
periods where you can work any ES station twice on both bands (once in CW
and once in SSB). Thus maximum 16 times in total during the contest for
mixed mode entrants. For single mode entrants it is maximum 8 QSOs as
previously.
Foreign stations can work ES stations only
and multipliers are ES region prefixes (0 to 9) on both bands and modes. So 20
for CW/SSB and 40 for mixed mode.
CW QSOs give 2 points and SSB 1 point.
Report is RST + QSO serial number.
Text format logs (cabrillo strongly
preferred) should be uploaded at special webpage esopen.eu (see claimed scores and statistics
also from there after the contest) or sent to esopen@erau.ee by May 1st.
On ERAU web page you will find instructions
how to use Win-Test, SD by EI5DI, TRLog and N1MM logging software! N1MM, SD and
UcxLog support ES Open directly. In Win-Test you can use just some mixed mode
contest like RDXC and make 4 different log files – one for every hour to count
dupes correctly. Add the cabrillo files up to one file
later.
CU and GL in the
contest!
