Scandinavian Activity Contest

Ricevo questo messaggio direttamente da Marrti OH2BH (non lo manda solo a me ma a tutti gli editors di pubblicazioni DX ed io sono ancora nella sua lista dai tempi del 425dxn) ed è curioso in quanto si fa promotore dello Scandinavian Activity Contest per nome di OH6RX. Lo pubblico anche per un piccolo legame nostalgico a questo contest a cui partecipai nel lontano 1989 !

Contest Exchange:
The contest exchange consists of RS(T) plus serial number starting with
001 (e.g. 59(9)001).

Scoring:
Two-way QSO with sent and received exchange counts for QSO-points. EUROPEAN stations credit their logs with one (1) point for every complete Scandinavian QSO on each band. NON-EUROPEAN stations credit their logs with one (1) point for every Scandinavian QSO on 14, 21 and 28 MHz and with three (3) points for complete QSO on 3.5 and 7 MHz bands.


Multipliers:
Worked call-number areas (Ø-9) in each Scandinavian country are valid as multiplier on each band. (e.g. SI3, SK3, SL3, SM3, 7S3 and 8S3 are all in ONE district and counts ONE (1) multiplier on each band).

WELCOME!
