When: July 23, 2010 starting at 1201 local time until August 11, 2010 at 1159 local time.
Who may enter: This contest is open to all homebrew radio builders and users anywhere in the world and beyond.
Allowed Radios: Any radio from a crystal set and up are allowed. Radios made with tubes, transistors, IC's are allowed.
However the entry must be homebrew or a heavily restored radio. Multiple radios can be entered, but each radio is a separate entry.
Logging: The entry log has to contain the following information: Logging number (#001, 002, 003 etc.), Date, Time, Station Call, and Frequency. Transmitter location would be nice if you can do it.
Valid Reception: Each station logged must be identified. Call signs are always the best, but a best guess effort (program format, local phone number heard, language etc.) is allowed too.
Scoring: Each station heard counts as one point. As simple as that.
Entry Classes: There are 5 entry classes. Separate log entries and scoring will be kept for each class. The same receiver can be used for different classes, but the logs should be separate:
LW MW-XTAL Class: 0.0 - 1.71 mhz. Passive radios only (crystal sets)
SW-XTAL Class 1.71 - 30 mhz. (SWBC, HAM) Passive radios only (crystal sets)
LW-MW Class: 0.00 - 1.71 mhz. All other radios.
SW Class 1.71 - 30 mhz. (SWBC) All other radios.
HAM Class 1.8 - 30 mhz. (HAM) All other radios.
Deadline: All entries must be received before August 25, 2010
What to enter: Please enter your log, plus a description of your set as well as pictures if you have them. Original drawn schematics are also welcomed. These will be published on the website. Don't forget to send a Google Map of your catches if you do one.
Who to send entries to: Logs should be sent to Rob Lenski
for judging. A copy of the log and pictures, descriptions and diagrams should be sent to
Dave Schmarder for publication here.
I will fix grammar and spelling errors. If you have a website, I will mention that too.
