General Rules for YLRL Contests
-------------------------------

For the rules of:
  • YL-OM Contest
  • DX YL to North American YL Contest
  • Howdy Days
  • YL Anniversary Party (YL-AP)


1.
  Check to make certain you are sending logs to
  the CURRENT Vice-President.

  YLRL’s Current Vice-President is:
  (updated April 5, 2005)

  Mailing address:

    Mary Moore, WX4MM
    1593 Lee Road 375
    VALLEY, AL 36854
    USA

  E-mail:

    wx4mm(at)tm-moore.com


2.
  Logs must be postmarked
  no later than 30 days after each contest ends.


3. Scoring:

    • Phone and CW contests will be scored separately.
      Separate logs must be submitted for each contest.

    • One point is earned for each different station worked on each
      band. The same station may be worked on different bands.
      In the YL-OM contest only, YLs count OMs and OMs count YLs.

    • Multiplier will be the ARRL sections and/or DX countries,
      whichever is appropriate. Canadian provinces are counted
      individually. Multipliers are used only once on all bands when
      figuring the score.

    • Contestants running a power output of 100 watts or less on CW and
      200 watts PEP or less on SSB, at all times during the contest,
      earn a power factor of 1.5

    • Computation is done by multiplying the points times the
      multiplier times the power factor.

    • For each duplicate contact that is removed from the log by the
      Vice-President, a penalty of three additional and equal contacts
      will be extracted.


4. Logs:

    • All logs must show the operator’s ARRL section, VE province, or
      country to qualify for awards. Where applicable, logs must state
      whether or not the operator is a member of YLRL. For each QSO,
      logs must also state the power output. If you have 200 or more
      QSOs, submit a separate log for each band and submit a "dupe"
      sheet.

    • Please type or print. Do not send carbon copies of logs.
      Photocopies are OK.

    • Logs must be signed and show claimed score.
      No logs will be returned.

    • Entries in log must also show time, band, date and transmitter
      power.


5. Exchange:
  Station worked, QSO number given and received, RS(T) given and
  received, and section / province / country.
