IARU HF World Championship
==========================
	  
Eligibility:
------------
all licensed amateurs worldwide

Object:
-------
to contact as many other amateurs, especially IARU member-society HQ 
stations, around the world as possible using 1.8 through 30 MHz. (The 10,
18, and 24-MHz bands may not be used for contest QSOs.) 
	
Categories:
-----------
A) Single operator--phone-only, CW-only and mixed-mode. 
   One person performs all operating and logging functions. Use of spotting
   nets is not permitted. All operators must observe the limits of their
   operators' licenses at all times. Single-operator stations are allowed 
   only one transmitted signal at any given time. 
B) Multioperator--single transmitter, mixed-mode only.
   Must remain on a band for at least 10 minutes at a time. Only one
   transmitted signal allowed at any given time. (Exception: Only IARU
   member-society HQ stations may operate simultaneously on more than one
   band, with one transmitter on each band/mode. Only one HQ station call
   sign per member-society per frequency band is permitted.) All operators
   must observe the limits of their operators' licenses at all times. 

Date:
-----
second full weekend of July, from 12.00z Saturday to 12.00z Sunday
{02SAT07:1200:1440}

Exchange:
---------
IARU member-society HQ stations send signal report and official IARU member
society abbreviation. All others send signal report and ITU zone. A complete
exchange must be logged for each valid QSO. 
	
Valid Contact:
--------------
A) The same station may be worked once per band/mode. Mixed-mode entries may
   work a station once per mode (but only in the generally accepted portions
   of that band for that mode. Note: Reworking a station in the phone
   portion of the band on CW is not permitted). Example: On any band, a
   station may be worked once on phone and once on CW (in the CW segment)
   for additional QSO credit. However, this counts as only one multiplier.
   Crossmode, crossband and repeater QSOs do not count. Where contest-
   preferred segments are incorporated in regional band plans, participants
   are requested to observe them. 
B) The use of non-Amateur Radio means of communication (eg, telephone) for
   the purpose of soliciting a contact (or contacts) during the contest
   period is inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this announcement.
 
Points:
-------
A) Contacts within your ITU zone, as well as QSOs with all IARU HQ
   member-society stations, count one point. 
B) Contacts within your continent (but different ITU zone) count three
   points. 
C) Contacts with a different continent count five points. 
	
Multipliers:
------------
Total number of ITU zones plus IARU member-society HQ stations worked on
each frequency band. (Note: HQ stations do not count for zone multipliers.)
	
Final Score:
------------
Multipliers times the total number of QSO points. 
	
Reporting:
----------
A) Entries must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the end of the
   contest (August 14, 1996). No late entries can be accepted. Any entry
   received after mid-October 1995 may not be received in time to be
   included in the printed results. Use official forms, a reasonable
   facsimile, submit entry on diskette, upload your entry to the ARRL BBS,
   or send your entry to ARRL HQ via Internet. 
   (1) You may submit your contest entry on diskette in lieu of paper logs.
       The floppy diskette must be IBM compatible, MS-DOS formatted, 3.5 or
       5.25 inch (40 or 80 track).  The log information must be in an ASCII
       file, following the ARRL Suggested Standard File Format, and contain
       all log exchange information (band, date, time in UTC, call of 
       station worked, exchange sent, exchange received, multipliers [marked
       the first time worked] and QSO points). One entry per diskette. An
       official summary sheet or reasonable facsimile with signed contest
       participation disclaimer is required with all entries. 
   (2) You may submit your contest entry via the ARRL BBS (860-594-0306) or
       via Internet to contest@arrl.org. Send your ASCII summary sheet file
       (Make sure it includes all the pertinent information outlined in the
       official summary sheet.) and your ASCII log file following the ARRL
       Suggested Standard File Format.  
(B) Logs must indicate band, mode, date, time in UTC, calls and complete
    exchanges (sent and received), multipliers and QSO points. Multipliers
    should be marked clearly in the log the first time they are worked.
    Entries with more than 500 QSOs total must include cross-check sheets
    (dupe sheets). 
(C) Contest summary, logs, and cross check sheet (if required) or diskettes
    should be sent to IARU HQ, Box 310905, Newington, CT 06131-0905, USA. 

Conditions of Entry:
--------------------
Each entrant agrees to be bound by the provisions of this announcement, by
the regulations of his/her licensing authority and by the decisions of the
ARRL Awards Committee, acting for the IARU International Secretariat. 
	
Disqualification:
-----------------
An entry may be disqualified if the overall score is reduced by more than
2%. Score reduction does not include correction of arithmetic errors. An
entry may be disqualified if more than 2% of duplicates are left in the log.
A three-QSO reduction will be assessed for each duplicate QSO found during
log checking or for each miscopied call sign.

Awards:
-------
A certificate will be awarded to the high-scoring CW-only, phone-only,
mixed-mode and multioperator entrant in each State, each ITU Zone and each
DXCC Country. In addition, achievement-level awards will be issued to those
making at least 250 QSOs or having a multiplier total of 50 or more.
Additional awards may be made at the discretion of each country's IARU
member-society.
