It was decided back in November board meeting to add two new classifications/categories to the 10-10 QSO Parties, LOW POWER AND HIGH POWER.

These changes have just recently been made and will be effective beginning with the Winter Phone QSO Party February 3-4, 2018.

The following changes are as follows:

Entrants may submit a log in ANY of the following classifications:

QRP: Includes single station operators and can also include OM/XYL teams or any families or groups of people using individual call signs and 10-10 numbers. CW/Digital operations max 5 watts and Phone operations max 10 watts during the entire event.

LOW POWER: Same as QRP listed above except that output power for CW/Digital operations is max 50 watts and Phone operations is max 150 watts during the entire event.

HIGH POWER: Same as QRP listed above except that output power for CW/Digital operations is max 100 watts and Phone operations is >150 watts for the entire event.

THE HEADER OF ALL LOGS MUST NOW INDICATE THE FOLLOWING IN THE CATEGORY SECTION:

QRP

LOW POWER

HIGH POWER

CLUB

MOBILE

The authors of 10qsologger, WIN1010 and N3FJP 10-10 QSO Party contest programs will notified of changes and hopefully those changes can be made before the Winter Phone QSO Party. Any changes not made, you will then have to edit your Cabrillo logs to reflect the proper classification/category. I also hope to have the contest scorer updated so that those uploading ADIF logs will have the option to pick the proper category.

We are sorry for the late notice and any inconvenience this may pose but we wanted to get this out as soon as possible.
