By limiting off-time to no more than two blocks, you can't take a bunch of short breaks. The intent of the "two break" rule is to add another element of strategy to the contest. After 24 hours of operating time has been reached, Single Operator stations may continue to make and log QSOs but they will not count towards the final score. Breaks shorter than 30 minutes or following the first two off-times are ignored. Each off-time must be at least 30 minutes long. See "Special RTTY Roundup Rules" in the complete rules document.įollowing the first QSO, up to 6 hours of off-time may be taken in one or two breaks before the final QSO is logged. Multioperator stations may operate the entire 30 hours. Single Operator stations may operate up to 24 hours out of the 30-hour contest period. Club Competition Rules ver 1.03 (23 December 2020).

This list is an extension and update of the relatively short list of names shown in the Cabrillo standard. In a few cases the name was adjusted to adhere to the Cabrillo standard for contest names. Cabrillo Names were determined to be the official Cabrillo name for a contest from the contest sponsor's web site or an e-mail exchange with the contest manager. The following lists the names to use as the value of the CONTEST: tag in the header of a Cabrillo-formatted contest log to indicate the contest.
