Boa noite amigos.

Acabei de entrar no Site do WAE para verificar os resultados dos Contestes
e, para minha grata surpresa, vejo o comentário abaixo, que muito nos
orgulha, em sermos considerados um dos grandes países na participação de
Contestes, fruto do trabalho de vários de nossos colegas no fomento desta
prática em nossa atividade.

Parabéns à todos nós e temos que tentar mantermo-nos sempre os de maior
número de participantes em qualquer Conteste. Assim, teremos maior atenção e
antenas apontadas para nós.

Vejam abaixo, com meu destaque em vermelho do comentário á que me refiro.

 



Many leading contesters claim the WAEDC to be the most challenging contest
of the year. Being a true blue DX contest, only intercontinental QSOs
between DX and Europe are counted (exception is the RTTY part). Therefore
the number of DX QSOs here may be similar to the amount of DX usually worked
in the CQWW. 

Moreover, the unique feature of QTC-traffic adds much fun and another
operating challenge to the contest. Here the DX stations transfer real
telegrams to the European stations. These telegrams contain data of
previously logged QSOs. Each of these records counts one additional point
for the sender and the receiver, given that the complete record was logged
correctly. Thus, a DX station can actually double its score by sending QTCs.
Some European stations, and not only the leading ranks, gain more than 70
percent of their score from QTC traffic.

Hovever, like in any other contest you have to take care about the number of
multipliers too. From a DX point of view these are the WAE entities. For the
European stations multipliers come from DXCC entities worked and the
numerical call areas of several big countries (JA, PY, W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS).
Because multipliers are counted per band and on the low bands they count
more than on the high bands, there ist significant activity also on 40m and
80m. And remember - every contact is a DX QSO! Reflecting on this, you will
work lowband DX as well as highband DX even in the CW part in August as well
as in the SSB part in September, despite all seasonal problems in the
northern hemisphere. Remember, this part of the year is usually good for
lowband activities from the southern hemisphere. For a well equipped station
and a dedicated operator worldwide DX is possible on 80m. In addition, the
nowadays poor 10m band surprisingly often shows short DX openings with good
rates and useful multipliers. 

>From our point of view, the WAEDCs are significant landmarks in the yearly
contest calender, providing highest level radiosport for serious contesters
and fun for part time entrants and DXers alike. Join the WAEDC!
