8th EPC BPSK63 QSO Party 2013

Dear Fellow Radio Amateurs,

The European PSK Club has the honour to invite the radio amateurs all over the world to participate in the 8th EPC BSK63 QSO Party 2013. The objective of the competition is to establish as many contacts as possible between radio amateurs around the world by using the BPSK63 mode. Everybody can work everybody for QSO and multiplier credit. The Contest is annually held at the third weekend in November on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters bands.

Starting time is at 00:00 UTC, and ending time is at 24:00 UTC on Sunday 17 November, 2013.

There are no separate entrant categories in the competition; all participants work as SINGLE-OP ALL (Single Operator - All Bands). All stations at which one performs do all of the operating, logging, and spotting functions. Only one signal is allowed at any one time. The operator may change bands at any time. The output power shall not exceed 100 watts.


EPC members should send signal report plus EPC membership number (example – 599 EPC00001). Please make sure that you don't separate «EPC» from the «Number», and you don't use any characters between. Please make sure that your EPC number consists of 5 digits. Other stations should send signal report plus QSO number, starting 001 (example – 599 001).


First, second and third place certificates will be awarded in the World and every continent. First place certificates will be awarded in every participating DXCC country. All scores will be published on the EPC website. All certificates will be issued to the licensee of the station used. All certificates will be issued in a PDF format. If you are interested in sponsoring a special trophy for the EPC BPSK63 QSO Party, please contact the Committee.
