                                         CW mode to the Radio Amateur community
Contest Period:             Saturday, 24 September 2011 - 12:00UTC until Sunday, 25 September 2011 - 12:00UTC
Modulation:                   Exclusively CW (A1A)
Συχνότητες λειτουργίας: 80m (3.520Mhz – 3.530Mhz)
                                              40m (7.020Mhz – 7.030Mhz)
                                              20m (14.030Mhz – 14.060Mhz)
                                              15m (21.030Mhz – 21.060Mhz)
                                              10m (28.030Mhz – 28.060Mhz)
                                              The above working bandwidths are recommended by the G.T.C. , but all CW QSOs
                                              in accordance with the official band plans will be considered valid
Categories:                          A. SOAB (Single Operator, All Bands, regardless of power output to the antenna
                                                    input)
                                               B. SOAB/QRP (Single Operator, All Bands, power output to the antenna input
                                                    limited to 5W PEP). Stations participating in this category are obliged to send
                                                    /QRP after their callsign (e.g. SV5DKL/QRP)
RST:             G.T.C. Members: RST + GTC + 3-digit member number (e.g. for G.T.C. member nr. 28 the sent  
                                                     report should be 599 GTC 028)
                      Non-members : RST + Serial No. staring from 001
Who to work: Everyone may work everyone, but just once per each band. Participating members of the         
                          G.T.C. should take part under their own callsign and not under any special callsign
QSO Points: QSOs with G.T.C. members         : 10 points
                       QSOs with non-G.T.C. members : 1 point
Multipliers: Each QSO with a G.T.C. member per band counts for one (1) multiplier. For instance, if you work
                      the same G.T.C. member in three (3) different bands, then this counts for three (3) multipliers
Total Score: The total score is calculated by the sum of QSO points (as described above) multiplied by the
                       multiplier total
Log submission: Electronic logs of your participation should be e-mailed at latest by 30 October 2011 to
