CQ WW SWL CHALLENGE RULES – 2005

The aim of the challenge is to log as many DXCC entities as possible
The same rules apply to both the SSB and CW Challenges

PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY


Dates:

   SSB: in the 48 hours from
     0000 UTC on 29 October 2005 to 30 October 2005

    CW: in the 48 hours from
     0000 UTC on 26 November 2005 to 27 November 2005


 1:
   SWLs may listen at any time during the 48-hour periods.


 2:
   Only one station from each DXCC entity may be logged on each of the
   main amateur bands (28, 21, 14, 3.5 and 1.8 MHz).


 3:
   There are three sections:

     • A – Single operator

       NOTE: SWLs entering section A must include a declaration that
       only one listener used the station, only one receiver was in use,
       and no use was made of the Packet Cluster or the DX Summit.

     • B – Multi operator, multi-receiver

     • C – Multi operator, single receiver

       NOTE: Any single-operator SWL with access to Packet Cluster
       or DX Summit MUST enter section C.


 4:
   Points will be scored as follows:

     • (a) Countries in the SWLs own continent score 1 point on each
           band.
           Countries outside the SWLs own continent score 5 points on
           each band.

     • (b) The final score will be the total of the DXCC entities heard
           on the six bands multiplied by the total number of points
           from each of the six bands (for example, a total of
           400 DXCC entities × 900 points = a score of 360,000).


 5:
   Entries MUST show:

     • (a) Date

     • (b) Time UTC

     • (c) Callsign of station heard.
           The callsign of the station being worked is NOT required

     • (d) RS(T) of station heard at SWLs QTH.
           No station may be logged whose RS(T) is less than 33(9).

   Separate log sheets MUST be provided for each band.

   A DXCC entity multiplier check sheet MUST be provided. Only DXCC
   entities shown on the official DXCC list will count as multipliers.
