New and novel

1 July 2023 - 31 August 2023

Work members of OARC, using Radio, having fun in the process.

No rules as this isn't a contest. However, we do have some guidelines:

• Only QSOs between OARC members count
• Only QSOs logged on the OARC Logging site will count
• Highlight in your QSO (using comments), what makes this QSO new / novel.
• Only one QSO between a pair of members will count for the contest per band / mode
  • i.e. you can work a member on multiple bands and modes but it won't score as highly as working many members on the same band / mode.
• As long as RF is involved somewhere in the QSO, it can be counted as a QSO.
  • This isn't an RSGB or ARRL contest
• All attempts at 'lawyering' will be ruled ineligible unless they are also cool / novel / new.
• Trying too hard will result in a diminishing returns effect occurring to your score.
• There may be prizes
  • This will be decided by the community.
  • Trying to win prizes will make you ineligible for prizes.
• Rulings / questions / queries will be resolved in the #activity-hub channel
  • Simon - M0SMU will try to resolve all issues but may resort to community input.
  • All decisions are final and binding

A web based logging tool will be made available. Initial set up and training will be provided on request for those who can't work it out or are having access issues. The solution will accept ADIF, but only valid ADIF. If the file isn't passed by the K1MU ADIF validator as ADIF compliant then don't upload it or expect support on importing it.
