PACC 2016 change in rules

Normally I'm already busy to get ready for the PACC contest. But like last year I got 2 birthday parties both Saturday and Sunday. So a full time participation is not possible. I will enter the contest with QRP like last year. The target is to beat the score from last year, we will see. As a extra I hope to work some extra DXCC for the 100 DXCC in 100 days QRP challenge.

The rules for 2016 changed as every DXCC is now counting both is SSB as CW. In a multi operator contest station that means you should have a equal CW/SSB operating to get a better score. That is not always possible and could be a disadvantage. Our provincial conteststation PA6GR for instance will miss the top CW operator PA4O. PA0VAJ Jan will take his place. PA4O will contest on the PA1A location in the High Power CW only section.

A good site to view the battles and may to add your live score yourself is http://cqcontest.net. I'll
probabely try to add my score there live as well. Just for the fun of it.

Well, to those who are competing seriously and will do the complete 24 hour contest without any sleep. I wish you all good luck. Hopefully I will work you this year. There will be a year I manage to go for it the full 24 hours somewhere in the future I hope...
