INTERNATIONAL
ENIGMA RELOADED AWARD
SIXTH EDITION - 2019
From September 27th to October 11th
2019
DURATION PERIOD &
DATES
- Start on
Sept. 27th 2019 at 07:00 UTC, in conjunction with the “European
Researcher’s Night”;
- End on Oct. 11th 2019, at 23:59 UTC;
The complete program of the event is available on the website:
www.enigma-reloaded.it
All Radioamateurs in the world can participate, with the aim of contacting as many ENIGMA Activating Stations as possible according the rules described in this document.
The official list of the Activating Station will be published on the website www.enigma-reloaded.it .
The only award’s participation categories are: OM and SWL.
The two categories are distinct and independent, each with their own ranking.
As previously defined, basic requirement for an Activating Station is to be "paired" with an original Enigma machine, even if not necessarily functioning.
By the time of the registration application of the Activating Stations, the name of the museum or owner group hosting the machine will be made known.
For amateur collectors or private owners, the province where the machine is located will be considered as a sufficient information. Any additional detail if given will be welcome, but not mandatory.
QSO / HRD RULES
Contacts by means of repeaters, trasponders or similar systems
and means are not permitted.
The contact will be valid once mutually exchanged the standard
RS(T) reports, provided the following “Dupe Rule” is observed:
For the entire duration of the award, each Activating Station
can be contacted only once per day on the same band and with the
same emission mode: any contact between the same stations on the
same day, on the same band and using the same emission mode will
be considered as a “DUPE”, and its score will be set to zero.
Packet Cluster spotting is allowed, with the only limitation
that “self - spotting” by the Activating Stations for themselves
: this is NOT allowed.
“Self - spotting” is defined as a spot on the packet cluster
posted by a given callsign on the same callsign.
Example of a NOT permitted spot: II4GRM sends a spot for II4GRM
Example of an allowed spot: IK4PKK sends a spot for II4GRM
AWARD’s CERTIFICATES
There are two award’s certificate types :
A) Score Ranking Award Certificate: it will be assigned to all
radio stations having reached the minimum required score,
according to the rules described in this document;
B) Participation Certificate: it will be assigned to all radio
stations having collected at least 12 valid QSOs/HRDs with
Activating Stations, even contacting more than once a same
activating station, independently on the obtained score.
The following
scores will be assigned to each valid (NOT dupe) QSO or HRD:
A) For QRP stations (Power ≤ 5 W): 2 points;
B) For NOT QRP stations (Power > 5 W): 1 point.
Each callsign of an Activating Station counts as a multiplier.
Examples of score calculation :
• QRP station: for 10 contacts with “Activating Station 1”, 25
contacts with “Activating Station 2” and 7 contacts with
“Activating Station 3” (three stations in total) the total QSO
score is : (10)(2) + (25)(2)+ (7)(2) = 84 and 3 multipliers, so
the total score is : (84)*(3) = 252 points;
• NOT QRP station: for 10 contacts with “Activating Station 1”,
25 contacts with “Activating Station 2” and 7 contacts with
“Activating Station 3” (3 stations in total) the total QSO score
is : (10)(1) + (25)(1)+ (7)(1) = 42 and 3 multipliers, so the
total score is : (42)*(3) = 126 points;
The minimum
score P is calculated as follows:
For Italian stations: P = 32*N
For European, NOT Italian stations: P = 16*N
For Extra European stations: P =8*N
where N is the total number of the Activating Stations who
participated to the award, going on the air.
This number N will be officially published on the website
//www.enigma-reloaded.it/
