SKD - every New Year's Day - every Midsummer's Day

The New Year's Day SKD will take place January 1st 2010,  0800-2200 UTC.

RULES

SKD is no ”contest”. The goal is to give us a pleasant opportunity
to work CW-QSOs at a convenient speed using a hand key.
The competition is to work the most beautiful CW ever heard.

Date

New Year's Day 2010-01-01

Time

0800 - 2200 UTC

Frequency bands in KHz

3540-3580
7020-7040
10105-10125
14050-14070
The competitors are asked to work in the 7, 10 and 14 MHz bands
to give non-scandinavian friends and colleagues better opportunities
to QSO Scandinavians.

Mode

Only CW using a hand key

Scoring


In every QSO, in your log, the style of your counter operator's morse code shall be marked 1.0 - 5.0 according to your personal opinion.

The final mark will be calculated by the SKD manager in the following manner.
The number of received marks must be five or more to get into the list.
So, work more than five stations to be sure.
The sum of all QSO-marks will be divided by the number of marks received.
Thus the maximum mark will be 5.0

Awards


Diplomas to those who send in their logs. SKD Straight Key Award
will be awarded to those who send in their logs.
The Diplomas for winter+summer will be distributed in July.

The SKD Plaquettes
The "Golden Key Plaquette" will be awarded the operator given the highest mark
in the SKD on Midsummer's Day. If more operators have the same highest grade,
the highest number of received grades will qualify.
The "Silver Key Plaquette" to the second best.
The "Bronze Key Plaquette" to the operator(s) on third place.
