 Rulebook The 2010 Kentucky QSO Party
1400z Sat Nov.13 to 0200z Sun Nov.14
The 2010 Kentucky QSO Party will be sponsored by the Western KY DX Association. During the party the same station may be worked only once per band and mode, unless they are mobile or portable. Stations may be worked again when they activate another KY county. All mobile and/or portable stations must identify themselves as such so that fixed stations looking for new multipliers may more easily work them.
EXCHANGE: RS(T) and QTH (State, Canadian Province or DX). Kentucky stations send your 3-character county abbreviation as the QTH.
SCORING: KY contesters will work everyone and total the following as multipliers: States (50), KY counties (120), and Canadian Provinces (9) and All DXCC Entities (See ARRL DXCC List--Less USA, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. Do not count USA nor Canada as Countries; Alaska and Hawaii count as States Only). QSO points are: 2 for CW, 1 for SSB. Non-KY stations work KY stations only and will collect counties and KY QSOs. They will then multiply the number of counties by the number of QSO points (2 for CW, 1 for SSB). Each person will add any bonus points earned to his final score. Five hundred bonus points will be earned for working our Club station, KY4DXA, which will be moving from county to county. The 500 bonus points will be added only once to a person's score, regardless how many times KY4DXA is worked. All additional times will score normal QSO points. All stations are to combine QSO points before multiplying. Kentucky mobile and portable stations may add 1000 points to their final score for each Kentucky county activated, provided a minimum of 10 contacts are made from a county before moving on to the next county. KY stations may count KY as a state and their own county as a multiplier (provided they work a station within their state and county). ALL CATEGORIES ARE SINGLE OPERATOR.
FREQUENCIES: Operation must be limited to 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 and 6 meters.
SUGGESTED FREQUENCIES:
CW 1.815, 3.550, 7.050, 14.050, 21.050, 28.050, 50.090
SSB 1.855, 3.820, 7.240, 14.280, 21.390, 28.390, 50.190. (Plus or minus QRM)
AWARDS: Plaques will be awarded to the highest-scoring station in each of the following categories: KY Fixed Phone, KY Fixed CW, KY Fixed Mixed, KY Rover Phone, KY Rover CW and KY Rover Mixed.. (ALL CATEGORIES ARE SINGLE OPERATOR.) One Plaque will go the highest-scoring U.S. station outside KY and one plaque to the highest-scoring DX station.
