Default This Weekend: CQ Worldwide DX Contest SSB


We have come to the weekend devoted to the CQ Worldwide SSB Contest, the competition which is, without a doubt, the most popular of the year, not only for those trying to achieve a good result in the rankings, but also for those who want to spend an intense weekend on the radio, with good chances to work some entities on a new band.

Here is some detail you can';t do without if you plan to enter this contest (or take advantage of it to work a few rare ones):

CONTEST EXCHANGE:ÿRS report plus CQ Zone number of your station location (e.g., 59 15)

Sco The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of zone and country multipliers. Example: 1000 QSO points * (30 Zones + 70 Countries) = 100,000 (final score).

QSO Points: Stations may be contacted once on each band. QSO points are based on the location of the station worked.

Contacts between stations on different continents count three (3) points.
Contacts between stations on the same continent but in different countries count one (1) point. Exception: Contacts between stations in different countries within the North American boundaries count two (2) points.
Contacts between stations in the same country have zero (0) QSO point value, but are permitted for zone or country multiplier credit.

Multipliers: There are two types of multipliers.

Zone: A multiplier of one (1) for each different CQ Zone contacted on each band. The CQ Worked All Zones rules are the standard.
Country: A multiplier of one (1) for each different country contacted on each band. The DXCC entity list, Worked All Europe (WAE) multiplier list plus IG9/IH9, and continental boundaries are the standards for defining country multipliers. Maritime mobile stations count only for a zone multiplier.

The rules can be found at:ÿhttp://www.cqww.com/rules.htm.
