The 1 Watt Game

Riporto un avviso che mi è arrivato.

Per chi opera in CW sarà una cosa divertente.

From Peter Kempenaers (ON6KZ/OO7Z). (n.b. Part 1 was back in March)

I. OBJECTIVE: A short QRPP CW game on the 20 meterband. All radio amateurs and SWL’s are cordially invited.
II. DATE: saturday 14 october 2023 from 0900 to 1200 UTC.
III. BAND: 20 meter band only. 14.060 MHz ± 10 kHz.
IV. POWER: maximum 1 watt.
V. OPERATION: Only CW (A1A).

  1. CALL: CQ 1W
  2. EXCHANGE: RST / POWER / LOCATOR
    ie. 559/1w/ JO21LA. Additional info like power, RTX, antenna,… is welcome.
    VI. SCORING:
    First calculate the distance of each QSO.
    QSO points = distance divided by the power of the other station (in watts).
    Power less than 1 watt is equal to 1 watt in the points calculation.
    Eg. your counter station is 2000 km away and uses 5 watt. Then the point count for this qso is: 2000/5 = 400 points.
    Eg. your counter station is 3000 km away and uses 1 watt. Then the point count for this qso is: 3000/1 = 3000 points.
    Eg. your counter station is 3000 km away and uses 300 milliwatt. Then the point count for this qso is: 3000/1 = 3000 points.
    TOTAL SCORE: Sum of all QSO points.
    VII. LOG SUBMISSION:
