Canadian Contest Championship 2007

The Canadian Contest Championship is sponsored by Radio Amateurs of Canada in order to generate interest in contest operating among Canadian Amateurs and to provide a measure of the performance of Canadian Contest operators. It was originated and formerly sponsored by The Canadian DX Association (CANAD-X).

ELIGIBILITY

The Canadian Contest Championship (CCC) is open to any Canadian Amateur operating from a Canadian location in the Single Operator (Unassisted) Mode in any of the contests listed below. There is no specific entry form required. Each Canadian operating in one of the listed contests enters CCC automatically by submitting an official entry to the sponsors of the contest. Please submit your entry no matter how small it may seem.

CONTESTS

Participation in the following contests will count if there are at least 10 Canadian entries in a given contest. All contests count equally.

CATEGORIES

There will be three categories QRP (5 Watts or less output), Low Power (6 Watts to 150 Watts output) and Max Power (up to the legal limit output). Contests that do not have separate power categories will count to the category in which the majority of an operator's contests lie, but may not be used toward QRP scores. Examples: RSGB Commonwealth Contest and some single band entries in RAC contests.

SCORING

Results will be taken from the published results of each contest. The operator placing

1st in each contest will receive a number of points equal to the average number of Canadian entrants in all CCC contests in 2005. For the year 2007 this number is 62. The operator placing 2nd will receive one point less and so on, until either one (1) point is reached or the last entrant is reached, whichever comes first. The 63^rd and succeeding entrants will receive zero (0) points. All band, single band, SSB and CW entries will be listed together. The final score for the Canadian Contest Championship will be the sum of the best five (5) scores of each entrant. To be eligible for an award in any category, an operator must enter at least four contests in that category.

AWARDS

Awards in the form of certificates will be presented to the overall winners in each category and to the winners of each category in each Canadian Call Area, i.e., VE1-9, VO1, VO2, VY0, VY1 and VY2, provided there are at least three entrants from an area. It would be very much appreciated if operators who use special calls or prefixes or change call signs notify the undersigned at any of the addresses below so that proper credit may be given where due.
