ARRL 10 Meter Contest

Object: The name of the game for the 10 meter Contest is to concentrate on working as many stations as you can in as many different states, Canadian provinces and DXCC countries as possible.
Classes: You can operate CW, SSB or both modes. You also have a choice of QRP, low power or high power - whatever tickles your fantasy. It's your choice. If you're timid about operating by yourself, or want to gain a little knowledge from an experienced veteran of the sport, gather a few friends together and try operating multioperator.
Time: Second weekend of December.
Saturday 0000z - Sunday 2400z.

Maximum operating time is 36 hours out of the 48.

Exchange:
  • USA: Signal report and state
  • Canada: Signal report and province
  • All other: Signal report and serial number.

Maritime and aeronautical mobile stations send signal report and their ITU Region (1, 2, or 3).

You can work a station once per mode. That means you can work a station once on CW and again on phone, but not twice on the same mode.

Multipliers: Multipliers are states (50), District of Columbia, Canadian provinces, DXCC countries and ITU Regions for maritime and aeronautical mobiles. You may count multipliers once on CW and again on phone.
Score: For your final score, you count 2 points for each phone contact, 4 points for each CW contact, and 8 points for each CW contact with a Novice or Technician Plus station signing /N or /T (28.1 to 28.3 MHz only). Add up all your QSO points and then multiply that sum by the number of different multipliers that you worked.
Logs: Logs must be submitted within 30 days after the contest and sent to:
