Europe (18): Azores, Baleares, Faroe Is., Guernsey, Jersey, Ireland, Iceland, Isle of Man, Crete, Corse, Rhodos, Sardegna, Sicilia, UK & Northern Ireland (Specialty: one BC-station from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each) Africa (4): Ascension, Madeira, Canary Islands, Sao Tome & Principe Asia (4): Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan America (12): Antigua, Bahamas, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Greenland, Isle of Newfoundland, Cuba, Netherlands Antilles, St. Kitts-Nevis, Turks & Caicos Islands, Virgin Island 3. Conditions of Participation The contest is free of charge and open to all DXers regardless of their membership in any DX club and their knowledge. Logs have to be made through the wellenforum-Online-Log facility which will be available at www.wellenforum.de in due course. Please note, that a registration is necessary to be granted access to the Log-facility. Every station has to be heard at least for 10 minutes. Notes on the programme heard have to be logged as detailed as possible to really identify the station (no empty phrases like music, news etc.). 4. Scoring Each broadcast region (please note the specialty for UK) will score only once. Each broadcast region receives a basic score of 500 points divided by the number of logs for this region. This individual score will be round up to the nearest full number. There will be a maximum score of 50 points per log. Ambiguous logs without a definite identification will receive only 1/3 of the full score. Example: Faroe Is. was logged 20 times = 500 / 20 = 25 points per participant Madeira was logged 2 times = 500 / 2 = 250 points = 50 points per participant 5. Awards Every participant will receive a participation certificate prompt after the contest has finished showing individual score and ranking. In addition every participant will receive a special diploma listing those individually logged broadcast regions that have been confirmed by the contest management. We wish you good listening! 73, Friedhelm Wittlieb Contestmanager ******** QTH: Lünen / NRW (near Dortmund) Grundig Satellit 700 with regenerative loop antenna member of the addx and medium wave circle uk www.wittlieb-online.de www.wellenforum.de ___________________________________________________________________________________ Ennakkotilaa WRTH 2007 nyt: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------- DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/dx _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
