HamSphere is delighted to cooperate with Youngsters on the Air (YOTA), a
young people's movement, in the running of the 2014 European Radio team Championship (ERTC 2014) due to be held in the city of Virrat, Finland. HamSphere will provide a framework for this first-ever ERTC competition in which two-operator teams compete in contacting members of the HS community as well as each other in pursuit of developing their computer & communication skills in the spirit of fostering coexistence between Real and Virtual Amateur Radio. YOTA 2014 is sponsored by the European Union and the International Amateur Radio Union. FINAL RULES FOR EUROPEAN RADIO TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP DATE: July 19, 2014 and July 20, 2014 TIME: Saturday (19) , 1200-1500 UTC and Sunday (20) 0400-0700 UTC (Note the changed start time) BANDS: HamSphere Version 3.0, 7040-7090 kHz, 14240-14290 kHz and 21340-21390 kHz MODE: Voice (DSB) EXCHANGE: Signal report and serial number, starting from 001 LOGGING: HS will provide a contest log the same way as in other HS contests. QSLs: A special series of QSLs will be released immediately after the competition. SCORING: Each normal correct contact is worth 10 points, and ERTC stations count for 100 points. The point value is multiplied by the number of countries contacted on all three (3) bands. Both periods result in separate multipliers. The final score is the sum of each day's points times multipliers. AWARDS: ERTC Gold Award for twenty top scoring stations ERTC Silver Award for twenty ops working the highest number of ERTC stations on three bands ERTC Bronze Award for those making more than 100 contacts A Special ERTC European Union Award will be issued to those contacting all fifteen ERTC teams. ERTC stations from fifteen European countries can be identified by their special Finnish OJ callsigns and they come with operators from Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, United Kingdom, Finland and Spain. As these operators are young and have less experience of HS, you are encouraged to call them by identifying yourself clearly and to help them in every way possible. They will be practicing until July 15 using a 14YOTA callsign of their country of origin. Good luck with this special event, Marcin, 161HS363 & Martti, OH2BH You can sign up in advance to this contest here: http://www.hamsphere.com/contest.php?mode=edit&contest_id=256 |
