2010 Oceania Contest -ON NOW! 2/1/2010

2010 Oceania Contest
The world’s best on-line DX magazine, 11m DX Activities Oz, is proud to announce the dates of its 2010 Oceania Contest. Undoubtedly the most exciting and best supported contest on the eleven meter band, the 2010 Oceania Contest will commence on January 1 with the aim being to make as many contacts with Oceania DXCC as possible over 2 long weekends.

As always, a number of high profile communications retail outlets have volunteered to sponsor the event in the form of some outstanding prizes for placegetters. Dave and Mike from Yeti Communications, for example, will continue their generous support of the OC Contest by way of donating one of its brand new super rigs — especially designed for the professional eleven meter band DXer — as a prize. Jos Hanhn from Syncro is back on board in 2010 again too, throwing bucket loads of prizes at the event to show HIS company’s support for OC DXers! There’s also a major prize offered by Dave Cox and the crew at Radio Warehouse Australia up for grabs to tickle the fancy of serious 11m contesters!

The rules for January 2010 remain the same as this year’s event and are designed to provide fair and equal access to all. Please read them carefully — particularly how scoring works for you, depending on YOUR geographical location (OC or NON-OC). If you have any questions, please add a comment to this story or email me direct.

On behalf of the Admin Team, good luck!

SCORING

For Oceania Transmitting Stations:

* Each contact with a station in your own DXCC is worth 1 point
* Each contact with an OC transmitting station outside your DXCC is worth 1 point
* Each contact made with a non-OC transmitting station [Example: A station in EU or the Americas] is worth 3 points
* Only one contact per station on each weekend will count in final points score
[NOTE: It is possible to work the same station on 2 occasions during the Contest providing it is on different weekends]
* At the conclusion of the contest, each DXCC worked adds 3 points onto your TOTAL points score [Example: 43 SE 144 Peter works 43, 9, 2, 41, 172 and 224 = 6 DXCC = 18 points]
* Points are then multiplied by the number of OC DXCC worked (Not OC stations worked) to give a FINAL points score.

For Outside Oceania Transmitting Stations:

* Each contact with an OC transmitting station is worth 3 points and counts as 1 multiplier [IMPORTANT NOTE: No more than 2 multipliers per OC DXCC will count] [Example: if you work 2 x 43 division stations, total = 6 points + 2 multipliers) [If you work 10 x 43 division stations, total = 30 points + 2 multipliers]
* Only one contact per station on each weekend will count in final points score [NOTE: It is possible to work the same station on 2 occasions during the Contest providing it is on different weekends]
* Each contact made with a non-OC transmitting station is worth 1 point
* Contacts are possible within your own DXCC and are worth 1 point
* At the conclusion of the contest, each DXCC worked = 3 points onto TOTAL points score [Example: 14 FR 003 works 14, 161, 26, 41, 43, 47, 13 and 2 = 8 DXCC = 24 points]
* Points are then multiplied by the number of OC stations worked (Not OC DXCC) (Limit of 2 multipliers per OC DXCC) to give a FINAL points score.

[IMPORTANT: To be eligible for final placings, including prizes, in the Single Operator Category, an outside of OC transmitting station MUST have worked at least 1 x OC transmitting station].
