Contest Rules

							
								
Purpose
								
To allow the worldwide D-STAR community to come together for the annual D-STAR QSO PARTY.
								
Prizes
								
The goal of the D-STAR QSO PARTY is to communicate through as many D-STAR repeaters as possible throughout the world. All operators who submit an approved log will be eligible for the prize draw. Seven (7) winners will be randomly selected to each win a prize. The more D-STAR QSO's you make, the more chances you have to win (up to a maximum of four prize draw tickets). Please refer to the entry multipliers below.
To qualify for a prize draw ticket, you need make a contact through at least one repeater in your own country.
If you contact amateurs in more than 5 foreign countries, you will qualify for two tickets to win a prize.
If you contact amateurs in more than 10 foreign countries, you will qualify for three tickets to win a prize.
If you contact amateurs in more than 20 foreign countries, you will qualify for four tickets to win a prize.
								
How the above "prize draw ticket" system will work
								
The name and/or call sign of each entrant into the D-STAR QSO PARTY will be collated and included in the prize draw. In this case each entrant will be eligible for one prize draw ticket in the draw.
As per the explanation above, the number of prize draw tickets is multiplied depending on the number of countries outside your own that you receive a valid QSO from during the competition period.
Winners can receive only one prize. Therefore, in the case where a winner's name/call sign is drawn again, that person will not receive another radio/calendar as a prize.
