Contest rules for 2024.
International HF contest RCC HF FIELD DAY is held as a part of the international contest IARU REGION 1 FIELD DAY twice a year: on the first full weekend in June (CW) and on the first full weekend in September (SSB). This contest provides a wonderful opportunity to experiment and gain experience in such areas as the design and operational deployment of antennas, the use of autonomous power sources, the use of transmitting and computer equipment in the field.
RCC HF FIELD DAY is held and sponsored by the Russian Contest Club (RCC).
Contest periods.
CW: 1st/2nd June 2024 15:00-14:59 UTC.
SSB: 7th/8th September 2024 13:00-12:59 UTC.
Bands.
Amateur HF bands 160-10m (excluding WARC) in frequency segments in accordance with the IARU Region 1 HF Band Plan.
General requirements for all participants and for all stations.
- The operation of a FIXED station must be from a single station location where transmitters, receivers, computer equipment, other devices connected to receivers/transmitters (except antennas) are located within a circle of a diameter no greater than 500 m. Antennas must be physically connected by RF transmission lines to the transmitters (amplifiers) and receivers.
- The operation of a field portable (/P) station must be from a single station location where transmitters, receivers, computer equipment, other devices connected to receivers/transmitters (except antennas), as well as electric power sources, are located within a circle of a diameter no greater than 500 m. Antennas must be physically connected by RF transmission lines to the transmitters (amplifiers) and receivers.
- All transmitters, receivers, antennas, computer equipment, other devices connected to receivers/transmitters, as well as electric power sources of land/river mobile (/M), maritime mobile (/MM) and aeronautical mobile (/AM) stations must be located on board the corresponding land/river, maritime and aeronautical vehicle. Transmitters, receivers, antennas, computer equipment, other devices connected to receivers/transmitters, as well as electric power sources of pedestrian mobile (/PM) stations, regardless of the identifier used in the callsign (/P, /M or /PM), must be carried exclusively by the operator of such a mobile station (the vehicle in this case is the person himself) and/or carried by a non-motorized vehicle driven by the mechanical efforts of the operator of such a mobile station (and/or carried by horse-drawn, animal-powered or animal-powered pack vehicle controlled by the operator of such a mobile station). There are no restrictions on movement during the contest period for land/river mobile, maritime mobile and aeronautical mobile stations. However, if transmitters, receivers, electric power sources and antennas of a mobile station of any kind are partially or completely located outside (overboard) of the vehicle, then such a station is considered field portable (/P) station. The operation of such a field portable station must be from a single station location and such a station is subject to a restriction on the location of the station equipment in a 500-meter diameter circle.
- If a land/river, maritime or aeronautical vehicle is permanently moored or stationary (e.g. a museum ship), then the station installed on such a vehicle is considered FIXED.
- If a callsign and/or an identifier in a callsign changes during the contest (for example, the station first operated from the field with the callsign UA1AAA/P, and then from a stationary (home) position with the callsign UA1AAA, or first as UA1AAA/P, and then as UA1AAA/M), then this is considered as separate participations/entrances in the contest. In this case, separate contest logs should be submitted for each participation/entrance and each participation/entrance should have its own numbering of QSOs in the transmitted exchange serial numbers.
General requirements for field portable and mobile stations.
- The location of the field portable (/P) station must be at least 100 meters away from the nearest buildings and points of the mains power grid. (This rule does not apply to land/river mobile (/M), maritime mobile (/MM), aeronautical mobile (/AM) and pedestrian mobile (/PM) stations.)
- The power supply of the station equipment must be provided from batteries, renewable sources of electricity (solar panels, wind generators, hydro generators), gasoline or diesel electric generators. These sources of electricity must be located within of the location of the field portable station (within a circle of a diameter no greater than 500 m) or on board the vehicle and these sources of electricity must not have connections to the mains power grid.
- No stationary structures (buildings, towers, geodetic signs, etc.) should be used to mount antennas.
- It is not allowed to use existing or previously installed equipment. The installation of antennas and other equipment of the station must begin no earlier than 24 hours before the start of the contest. (This rule does not apply to land/river mobile (/M), maritime mobile (/MM), aeronautical mobile (/AM) and pedestrian mobile (/PM) stations.)
Stations that do not meet the above requirements should participate in this contest only in the FIXED category.
Field portable, land/river mobile, maritime mobile, aeronautical mobile and pedestrian mobile stations should use a callsign with the appropriate identifier: /P, /M, /MM, /AM, /PM. Without such an identifier, a station should participate in this contest only in the FIXED category.
It is highly desirable that field portable and mobile stations provide the organizers with information about their planned operation before the start of the contest.
Categories and subcategories of participants.
Field portable and mobile stations that meet the above-described "General requirements for field portable and mobile stations" compete in the following categories:
- More than one operator / Field/mobile station (Multi-Op/Portable);
- One operator / Field/mobile station (Single-Op/Portable).
Scoring in these categories is conducted separately among Russian stations, among stations located within the IARU Region 1 (including Russia), and among stations located outside of the IARU Region 1.
The number of station operators of the Multi-Op/Portable category is any.
Only one single operator can operate on a Single-Op/Portable station.
Field portable and mobile stations of the Multi-Op/Portable category operating from the territories and countries of the IARU Region 1 may also submit their contest log for compete under the Restricted class subcategory, if they additionally meet the requirements given in the following table.
Field portable and mobile stations of the Single-Op/Portable category operating from the territories and countries of the IARU Region 1 may also submit their contest log for compete under the Restricted class subcategory or under the QRP subcategory, if they additionally meet the requirements given in the following table.
Subcategories
of field portable and
mobile stations of the
IARU Region 1:
|
Multi-Op/Portable - Restricted
More than one operator / Field/mobile station - Restricted class.
Output power - no more than 100 watts. Only one single-element antenna (dipole, vertical or loop) for all bands should be used. This antenna should be fed by a single transmission line and may contain traps and/or replaceable parts. For this antenna, no more than two suspension points are allowed, up to 15 meters high at the highest point. The height is determined relative to the level of the ground surface on which the operator's workplace is located. It is not allowed to use additional passive elements (reflectors, directors), as well as phased feeding of antenna elements leading to an increase in the gain.
Single-Op/Portable - Restricted
One operator / Field/mobile station - Restricted class.
Output power - no more than 100 watts. Only one single-element antenna (dipole, vertical or loop) for all bands should be used. This antenna should be fed by a single transmission line and may contain traps and/or replaceable parts. For this antenna, no more than two suspension points are allowed, up to 15 meters high at the highest point. The height is determined relative to the level of the ground surface on which the operator's workplace is located. It is not allowed to use additional passive elements (reflectors, directors), as well as phased feeding of antenna elements leading to an increase in the gain.
Single-Op/Portable - QRP
One operator / Field/mobile station - QRP.
The output power is no more than 5 watts, without restrictions on the type and number of antennas used. It is not necessary to transmit the identifier "/QRP" in the callsign.
|
Scoring in these subcategories is conducted separately among Russian stations and among stations located within the IARU Region 1 (including Russia). Participants of these subcategories compete both within their own subcategory and within the corresponding higher category.
Stationary stations, regardless of their location, as well as all stations that do not meet the "General requirements for field portable and mobile stations" may compete with each other only in the category:
- Stationary stations (FIXED).
The number of operators in this category is any. The FIXED category does not have any subcategories.
It is allowed to have a single radiated signal at any given time in all categories and subcategories. At the same time, only one transceiver (transmitter) is allowed in all categories and subcategories with one operator (Single-Op), and no more than two transceivers (transmitters) are allowed in all categories and subcategories with more than one operator (Multi-Op) and in the FIXED category. If a station with one operator uses SO2R technology, then such a station should participate in this contest only in the Multi-Op/Portable or in the FIXED categories.
The use of publicly available search technologies for possible QSOs is allowed in all categories and subcategories. But self-spotting or asking to be spotted is not permitted.
Any entrant has the right to take part in this contest outside of the competition and send his/her contest log for this purpose for control (checklog).
Exchange.
RS(T) plus serial number starting from 001.
QSO points.
For stations located within the IARU Region 1:
- QSO with a stationary (FIXED) station located within the IARU Region 1 gives 2 points;
- QSO with a stationary (FIXED) station located outside of the IARU Region 1 gives 3 points;
- QSO with any field portable (/P), land/river mobile (/M), maritime mobile (/MM), aeronautical mobile (/AM), pedestrian mobile (/PM) station gives 5 points.
For stations located outside of the IARU Region 1:
- QSO with a stationary (FIXED) station located outside of the IARU Region 1 gives 2 points;
- QSO with a stationary (FIXED) station located within the IARU Region 1 gives 3 points;
- QSO with any field portable (/P), land/river mobile (/M), maritime mobile (/MM), aeronautical mobile (/AM), pedestrian mobile (/PM) station gives 5 points.
Notes:
Duplicate QSOs for all entrants are allowed on different bands.
The concept of "Field portable and mobile station" when scoring points for communications applies to any station using a callsign with the identifier "/P" or "/M" or "/MM" or "/AM" or "/PM", regardless of whether this station meets the above-described "General requirements for field portable and mobile stations" or does not.
A station located exactly on the border of the IARU Region 1 (for example, in Antarctica, at the South Pole) is considered to be located in the IARU Region 1.
The IARU Region 1 includes:
- the whole of Europe;
- Africa (except for the islands located east of 60 degrees east longitude and south of the equator, that is, such territories as 3B9, FT#X, FT#Z, VK0/Heard, VQ9 and the African part of 8Q7);
- the entire territory of the former USSR (4J, 4L, EK, ER, ES, EW, EX, EY, EZ, LY, RI1F, UA1/3/4/5/6/7, UA2, UA8/9/0, UK, UN, UT, YL);
- the entire ITU zone 39 (A4, A6, A7, A9, E4, HZ, JY, OD, TA, YI, YK, ZC4, 4X, 5B, 7O, 9K);
- Mongolia (JT);
- a part of Antarctica located between 20 degrees west longitude and 60 degrees east longitude (through the zero Greenwich meridian).
Multiplier.
Each DXCC country and each federal district of the Russian Federation give 1 point for the multiplier on each band. One QSO with a Russian station can give 2 points for the multiplier (1 point as a DXCC country plus 1 point as a federal district of the Russian Federation). Non-land stations (/MM, /AM) do not give points for the multiplier.
Final score.
The final score is determined by the product of the sum of points for QSOs by the sum of points for the multiplier.
In case of equality of results, preference is given to the entrant who has a greater ratio of the final result to the claimed (preliminary) result.
Contest logs.
Electronic logs in CABRILLO format are accepted, which can be uploaded via the Web interface or sent by e-mail fd(at)qrz.ru Electronic logs in formats other than CABRILLO are allowed only as checklogs.
QSOs should be given in chronological order, scoring is optional. It is advisable to indicate the participant's personal data and description of the station's equipment/antennas in the header of the contest log. All field portable and mobile stations should submit, together with the contest log, photos of their station area, giving an idea of the equipment, antenna(s) and power source. These photos should be sent by e-mail fd(at)qrz.ru By a judge’s decision, a field portable or mobile station that has not submitted photos can be transferred to another category/subcategory. If, based on the submitted photos and the declared equipment/antennas, there are doubts about the fulfillment by the entrant of the relevant requirements for operating in the declared category/subcategory, then such an entrant can be transferred to another category/subcategory. Field portable and mobile stations should also indicate the location of their position in the contest log (with reference to the nearest locality or indicating geographical coordinates or indicating a QTH locator). From the contest log of the station operating from the territory of Russia, it should be unambiguously clear from which federal district or subject of the Russian Federation the station carried out its operation.
Specify the name of the contest:
- for CW Field Day, which takes place on the first full weekend of June: FD-RCC-CW;
- for SSB Field Day, which takes place on the first full weekend of September: FD-RCC-SSB.
For entrants from Russia, it is advisable to indicate the postal address, as well as the surname, first name and patronymic in Russian (Cyrillic).
For entrants from other countries it is advisable to indicate this information in English (in Latin letters).
Information about the equipment used, antennas and location in the CABRILLO can be specified in the SOAPBOX lines in Russian or English.
Stations that operated from the territory of Russia should specify the four-character RDA district identifier from which the operation was performed in the LOCATION line. If the operation of a field portable station (/P) was carried out from the border of 2 or more RDA districts, or if the operation of a land/river mobile (/M) or pedestrian mobile (/PM) station was carried out from 2 or more RDA districts, then such an entrant should, at his discretion, specify in the LOCATION line only one of the RDA districts from which the operation was carried out. The accrual of points for the multiplier to correspondents of such a station will be determined by in which federal district of Russia the RDA district specified in the LOCATION line is located. Information about operation from other RDA districts, information about movement, etc. can be specified in the SOAPBOX lines.
A personal confirmation of the receipt of the log/photos is sent to each contest log sent by e-mail and to each e-mail with photos. If such confirmation has not been received within 3 workdays, then you can duplicate the log/photos to ru3se(at)yandex.ru
Confirmations in the acceptance of contest logs uploaded via the Web interface are sent by the robot automatically to the e-mail address specified when uploading the log.
The deadline for submitting the contest log is no later than 5 days after the end of the contest (the next Friday after the contest, 23:59 UTC).
Contest logs submitted after the 5-day deadline can only be accepted as checklogs.

It is not allowed to use additional passive elements (reflectors, directors), as well as phased feeding of antenna elements leading to an increase in the gain.
