Africa All Mode International DX Contest

Hi everyone!

Please remember the Africa All Mode International DX Contest running 14-15 March 2015, this is your chance to work some African entities as well as having fun!

Africa All Mode International DX Contest

1. Aim
The objective of this all mode contest is to stimulate contesting from Africa. All
participating stations worldwide may work any country during the contest period,
but QSOs with radio amateurs from Africa is encouraged as reflected in
the higher points being awarded in the scoring mechanism. African DXCC entities
are defined as those valid per the ARRL DXCC AF listing published at the
time of the contest.

2. Date
From 12:00 UTC on Saturday 14 March to 12:00 UTC on Sunday 15 March
2015). Both single and multi-operator stations may operate for the entire 24-
hour period. There are no mandated breaks in operating time required.

3. Bands
160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metres, in accordance with your country and specific
licensing requirements governing the portion(s) of these bands that you may
use. No contest QSOs are allowed on 12, 17, 30 or 60 metres.

4. Modes
CW, RTTY and SSB. Contestants may elect to enter a single mode category
(where offered – see “Entry Categories” below) or take part as a mixed-mode
entrant. Mixed-mode entrants may work the same station once on each mode
per band (see “Entry Categories” for more details).

Only one week away now!

Looks like we will have activity from a few African countries that are seldom on the air, here is a chance to fill a few band/mode/slots!

I am planning an all band effort on CW/SSB/RTTY and if anyone wants PSK31 I can do that as well.

Hear you in the contest!
