Any operator with a top ten SOE or SOAB placing in any BARTG contest during the years 2005/2006/2007 must enter as an expert in SOE; other stations may choose to enter the expert class if they wish.

QSO Points

Each completed QSO scores one point. Stations may be contacted again on other bands. Duplicate contacts on the same band must be clearly marked.

Multipliers

All DXCC countries and JA, W, VE and VK areas count as multipliers. Multipliers and continents count only once in the contest regardless of band. U.S. stations must use correct call or suffix for area of operation.

Scoring

QSO points x Multipliers x Continents (max 6).

Log Submission

Logs must be submitted in Cabrillo format by e-mail to: ska@bartg.org.uk

The contest name in your log must read BARTG-SPRINT. The correct Cabrillo format can be found in the sample log on the BARTG website.

SWL logs will be accepted as plain ASCII text files showing date, band, callsign/message sent by claimed station and callsign of station worked, in chronological order, together with a summary file showing scoring and full name and address of entrant.

Any incomplete entries will be classified as check logs.

The subject line of your e-mail entry must include your callsign and class entered e.g. GW4SKA SOAB.
Logs should be sent as an attachment (NOT zipped please) named (yourcall).log e.g. GW4SKA.log.

The judge's decision will be final and no correspondence can be entered into in respect of incorrect or late entries.

All logs submitted shall remain the property of the BRITISH AMATEUR RADIO TELEDATA GROUP.

Trophies will be awarded to category winners. Certificates will be awarded to the top ten stations in each class.
