(Araucaria) Record Number of SAC CW Logs !

[py4was]

Prezados Amigos !

Vejam o que diz abaixo , o radioamador IGOR - UA9CDC sobre o Scandinavian 
Activity Contest.

Mais uma vez o CWJF acertou em cheio , ao estender a possibilidade de todos 
falarem contra todos , porém , validando como multiplicadores ( além de uma 
única vez o País ) , todos os PREFIXOS da América do Sul , que podem ser 
trabalhados nas 5 bandas.

Assim , o concurso tem atividade durante todo o seu período de realização , 
nos 5 continentes , e ainda por cima , PRIORIZA as estações da América do 
Sul , ao colocar apenas os PREFIXOS das estações de nosso continente , como 
os multiplicadores válidos ( mais uma única vez , cada País do DXCC ), porém 
permitindo os QSO's entre todos os particpantes ( independente do 
continente ) , que assim vão somando pontos e mais pontos também com os 
outros continentes.

Observem que o Igor - UA9CDC , faz um observação muito válida , quando 
informa que fica muito restrito a participação dos radioamadores , em função 
de serem válidos somente contatos com estações da ESCANDINÁVIA , e que nesse 
ano teve uma presença ao redor de apenas 350 radioamadores.

Podemos até dizer que é muito para aquela região exclusiva da Europa , mas 
muito pouco para um concurso internacional.

Não se podem comparar com o concurso dos USA , onde o mundo só pode falar 
com os USA / CANADA , e vice-verso.

Pois aparecem algo em tôrno de 3.000 a 4.000 estações , permitindo manter 
contatos durante praticamente todo o período do concurso.

E o CWJF deverá propor brevemente ao seu Comitê Consultivo , uma alteração 
no regulamento em relação ao nosso 1º CQMM DX CW CONTEST realizado esse ano 
, visando aumentar ainda mais a busca por multiplicadores.

Tenham todos , uma ÓTIMA semana.

73 , Ed - PY4WAS

>> This breaks the previous record number of 1115 from last year, marking a

>> rules, which states in part: "On 3.5 MHz, Region 1 stations must not
>> transmit below 3510 kHz on CW or above 3790 kHz on SSB." (see

>> list, based on Reverse Beacon Network data, of those CW entrants who with
>> certainty have solicited QSOs in the forbidden band on 80m. SSB logs with
>> such QSOs will be penalized.

>> Barring software issues, we hope to provide the final results of SAC CW
