There's a surprise
A big well done to slipknotWhy the Rule Changes?
1. Start and finish times brought forward by popular demand. This will allow portable stations time to
pack up and get home at a reasonable hour including VK6.
2. Combining HF and above sections to encourage VHF/UHF only users to HF and vice versa.
3. FM & SSB combined to the phone section and included CW and RTTY together to keep it simple.
4. Removed the receiving only section and all 16 sections of WW2 ex military equipment as there was
only one submission.
5. Military equipment users will receive a special mention certificate.
6. Exchange modified to RS(T) + nr of years as a ham or a club. A lot of feedback indicated that if a
participant noticed large scores then the participant would not participate or only be on for a short
time.
7. Changes to multi op section now only allow one transmitted signal on air at any time. This will
encourage the use of the new introduced ‘teams’ section.
8. Introduction of teams was brought in to encourage individuals to support their club and gain more on
air stations.
9. Awards for foundation licences will encourage more F licence participation.
