Dear Club Members

Among today participants was a station with a special callsign - TM95REF and, as many have noticed, the station did not advertise/exchange the gridsquare (JN19). 

Although the intention of the rules is that every station must exchange report and gridsquare, what is currently written on the rules is "... should exchange...".

This was an oversight by us and has a major implication, as must means an obligation while should is only a recommendation (not compulsory).

In face of this problem, we have decided:

• accept TM95REF entry
• allow any participant who have already submitted the log and omitted the QSO with TM95REF to be able correct the log (to include the missing QSO only)
• change the wording of the current rules for the following 2025 Sprint Contests (replace should with must) to avoid any doubts about the intention of the rules.

We hope all participants understand and respect our decision.

The 1st FT4 QO-100 Dx Club Sprint contest 2025 edition takes place next Saturday 12 Apr 2025.

If you haven't check the rules, please do it now. There are significant changes from last year edition.

We also request all participants to observe the QO-100 Bandplan and Operating Guidelines.

Please only make QSO on the designated contest segment (.870 - .875).

For your information, we have a full recording of each contest, so we can check any discrepancy on the logs.

Any fake information will likely lead to disqualification and banning of the remaining Sprints.

The log deadline is 14 Abr 2025 23.59z. The results will be published 18 Abr 2025.

Good luck!
