Revision: April 3, 2020.

I - Dates

Second weekend of June of every year.

From Saturday 15.00 UTC until Sunday 15.00 UTC. 24 hours period.

II - Goal

To communicate with the greatest quantity of ham radio stations around the

world, in as many CQ zones and countries as possible, using A1A mode (CW,

Radiotelegraphy).

III - Bands

Contest will be held in 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10m bands.

You should observe CW segments according your national laws and license.

IV - Categories

Mono-operator categories

It could be Monoband (one band at your election) or Multiband.

Only one signal is permitted on air at the time and the operator must do

every task by itself. One station participating in this category, who receives

operative assistance (DX Cluster, announcement, web pages, text

messages, electronic CW decoders, etc) or technically during the period of

the contest must register as Multi-operator. In the Multiband category, as

many band changes as necessary are permitted, without time limits.

Multi-operator categories

In these categories, Multiband operation should be carried out without

exception. Even if participants choose to operate in one band, contest

result calculations will be made as if Multiband was performed.

-Mono-Transmitter

Only one transmitter and one band is permitted during any 10 minute

period. This period is counted since the first logged QSO. Exception:

another band –but only one band- can be used during this period if the

logged station is a new multiplier. Violations to this rule will convert

category automatically to Multi-Multi.

- Multi-Transmitter

There is no limit to the number of transmitters, but only one signal can be

on air in any band at the same time.

Power

With respect to the power used to participate, either Mono-operator or

Multi-operator:

- High Power: Maximum power is the one authorized by the license.

- Low Power: Output power must not exceed 100 Watts.

- QRP: Output power must not exceed 5 Watts.

V - Exchange

Stations must Exchange following data: RST & CQ Zone.

VI - Multipliers

There are two types of multipliers.

1. One multiplier for every different CQ zone worked in each band.

2. One multiplier for every radio country worked by band. Stations of same

country can communicate only to compute Zone and Country. For score

computation CQ WAZ definitions and DXCC-GACW-WAE and WAC limits will be

used. Stations working as Maritime Mobile count only as zone multiplier of the

zone they are navigating.

VII - Points

1. QSO between stations in different continents are worth three (3) points.

2. QSO between stations in the same continent but different countries are

worth one (1) point.

3. QSO between stations inside the same country are permitted for zone and

country multipliers but are worth zero (0) point.

4. QSO with stations of South America are worth five (5) points. This only

applies for stations outside South America.

One same stations only gives points one time per band.

VIII - Score

For all the participating stations: Final score is calculated as the sum of the

points times the sum of multipliers.

Example:

100 points of QSO x 100 multipliers (20 Zones + 80 Countries) = 10,000 (Final

result).
