145 MHz Contest

Note: in a large number of DL LOGs mandatory information about used equipment (power and antenna) is missing. All such logs were therefore treated as check-logs. As this was the first year when the new contest rules imposed additional mandatory information in the EDI header (beside CALL, UL, band and section), we are willing to accept late corrections. DL stations that would like to classify in the contest (MO or SO section) should provide missing information to the above contact address.   

Complaint period closes on 17th of March 2019.

 - Established 14 years old as age limit to obtain Class A license (All bands with full legal power)

 - Removed the mandatory 6-month period between the Class 2 and Class 1 exams.

 - Significant increase in the power allowed in most bands : Max output power is now 1000 Watt (in stationary mode) and 1500 Watt allowed when participating in international contests.

 And other minor changes.
