Objective:
Attraction of radio amateurs to the development of digital reports and software for various digital modes.
**********
For diploma hunters, participation in «01-10» and other days of activity and contests of our club is a good opportunity to complete the new RDRC diplomas.
**********
Participants:
Licensed radio amateurs and Short Wave Listeners are invited to participate, including collective amateur (club) radio stations with official callsigns issued by the territorial administrations of communication, and in the case of radio observers - issued by the authorities of the official national Amateur Radio Union.
Date and Time:
Digital Activity Days «01-10» are held annually in January and May in the following periods:
- from 00:00 UTC on January, 1st till 23:59 UTC on January, 10th;
- from 00:00 UTC on May, 1st till 23:59 UTC on May, 10th.
All logs must be sent no later than 5 days.
Types of modes:
The contacts made by the following 10 digital modes are accepted: CONTESTIA, DOMINO, HELL, JT9, MFSK16, MT63, OLIVIA, T10, THOR, THROB.
General rules:
QSOs are counted with any stations around the world. Dupe radio contacts (SWL) can be conducted by different digital modes as on one band as well as on other bands. We recommend to work short QSOs with the following minimum information exchange: RSQ, name, locator. Spots in the Web cluster are welcomed. Contacts may be held by appointment (sked). We recommend to use narrow-band protocols. Other digital contests may take place in Days of Activity, therefore we ask not to occupy for ordinary QSO those frequencies where other contestmen work. The radio contacts conducted in digital contests during Digital Activity Days are also counted to the participants.
For the contacts in the seldom-used digital modes the following schedule is suggested for the 10 days of January and May activity. This calendar is advisory in nature and does not require obligatory execution.
