EU member station from both the CW and SSB competition.
Purpose: To contact as many Belgian and other amateurs as possible and to provide a way to achieve the WABP and the EC Awards in the "UBA Contest".
Periods: SSB - January 24 - January 25, 2009, CW - February 28 March 1, 2009 13:00 UTC Saturday to 13:00 UTC Sunday
Bands: Bands to be used: 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. The IARU band plan as well as the frequencies proposed by the HF Contest committee must be adhered to. At this time, the preferential frequencies are:
CW: 3.510 - 3.560; 7.000 - 7.035; 14.000 - 14.060; 21.000 - 21.080 & 28.000 - 28.070 MHz.

The band segments 3.500 - 3.510 and 3.775 - 3.800 shall not be used unless for DX contacts (this means no one shall call "CQ Contest" in those segments).
Contest Call and exchange: CW "TEST UBA" - SSB "CQ UBA".
Exchange: RS(T) + serial number starting from 001 for each log. Note that Belgian stations give their province abbreviation which is a mandatory part of the exchange and must be in the log (e.g. 59001/WV).
Scoring: Each QSO with a Belgian station counts 10 points. An additional bonus will be given depending on the percentage of QSO s with Belgium on your total QSO s. Example: 50 QSO s with Belgium (500 QSO points) on a total of 320 QSO s means 16,6 % of QSO s with Belgium and will give you (16,6 % of 500 Belgian QSO points) an extra of 83 QSO points on your total QSO points. This
calulation will be done after the logchecking.
Each QSO with another EU member station as listed below counts 3 points. QSO's with any other station outside the EU counts 1 point.
Multipliers: All Belgian provinces: AN, BW, HT, LB, LG, NM, LU, OV, VB and WV.
The region of Brussels : BR

CLASSIC EXCHANGE "CX" - Encouraging restoration, operation enjoyment of OLDER COMMERCIAL AND HOME BREW HAM GEAR for over 30 years.
The CX is a no-pressure contest celebrating the older commercial and homebrew equipment that was the pride and joy of ham shacks many decades ago.
The object is to encourage restoration, operation and enjoyment of this older "Classic" equipment. However, you need not operate a Classic rig to participate in the CX. YOU MAY USE ANY RIG in the contest although new gear is a distinct scoring disadvantage.
You can still work the "great ones" with modern equipment. There are new Bonus Scores for using the same model rigs as your Novice station and for using Hammarlund receiver or Johnson transmitter.

Operating on: 160-80-40-20-15-10-6-2WHEN: The CW CX will run from 1400 UTC January 31 to 0800 UTC February 1, 2010
(9 AM Eastern Time on Sunday to 3 AM Eastern Time Monday)
Send: "CQ CX"

WHERE: Suggested Frequencies -- plus/minus QRM. Listen up and down 5 to 10 Kc for crystal controlled stations.

	160	80	40	20	15	10	6	2
CW	1.810 mc.	3.545 mc.	7.045 mc.	14.045 mc.	21.135 mc.	28.050 mc.	50.100 mc.	144.100 mc.

WHAT: Exchange your name, RST, QTH (state US, province for Canada, country for DX), receiver and transmitter manufacturer/model (homebrew send final amp tube or transistor type) and other interesting conversation.
The same station may be worked with different equipment combinations on each band and in each mode. Non-participating stations may be worked for score if all required information is exchanged. All QSOs must be direct radio communications - not through repeaters or the Internet

Complete QSO requires successful exchange of name, QTH, RST, type of transmitter and type of receiver. CX multiplier is the total age in years old of all receivers and transmitters you used in that mode. Do not include age of ancillary items such as separate VFO, amplifier, key or bug, antenna, tree holding up antenna, operating desk, operator, or operator's dog.

Each receiver and transmitter must be used in a minimum of three complete QSOs to be counted in the multiplier. If the equipment is homebrew, count it as a minimum of 25 years old unless actual construction date or date of its construction article is older. Transceivers score as separate receivers and transmitters of equal age.
