Rules announced for January 2020 AM QSO Party in Europe

AM Amateur Radio Europe Facebook Group recently announced their very
first operating event, namely AM QSO Party 2020. Find our rules below:

When?
Saturday 25th January 2020 - 06:00 UTC until Sunday 26th January - 12:00 UTC.

Purpose
To promote / encourage the use of AM on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10
metre amateur bands. This is not a 5/9 contest and aim to encourage
QSOs and conversation, however points can be gained and certificates
awarded.

Scoring
1 point for each station worked on a specific band. If you work the
same station on more than one band, you get a point for each contact.
10 points for each new DXCC worked.

Categories
You can enter different categories based on the output power you used.

Power
The power levels described are the unmodulated carrier
1) 2.5 watts QRP (suitable for UK Foundation licence holder)
2) 12.5 watts (suitable for the UK Intemediate licence)
3) 12.5 – 100 watts (suitable for the UK Full Licence)
4) The legal power limit in your home country

For example using an Elecraft KX3 with a carrier of 2.5 Watts =
category 1 Or Using a FTDX101D and linear amplifier for a 100 Watt
carrier = category 3 ​ Frequencies The organisers have decided
to create operating windows for this even and a few Spot Frequencies
which fall outside of these windows, but are popular in various parts
of Europe. The purpose of these windows is to help people find one
another, plus to avoid spreading across the whole of a band and making
life too difficult to other users.

160m 1.900 - 2 MHz (1.850 spot frequency) 80m 3.600 - 3.700 MHz (3.705
spot frequency) 40m 7.170 - 7.199 MHz and (7.143 spot frequency) 20m
14.250 - 14.350 MHz 15m 21.350 - 21.450 MHz 10m 29.000 - 29.1000 MHz
​ QSOs outside these windows and spot frequencies will not count
towards scores in the event.

Self Spotting on a Cluster
As this is not a contest, but an operating event, the use of an online
cluster for self spotting is perfectly acceptable. Let everyone know
where you are!

Facebook Group.
