General rules:
All radio amateurs in the world can take part in the days of activity. QSOs are counted by any digital modes. Repeated QSOs (observations) can be carried out using various digital MODES and SUBMODES on one band and on other bands, but only the number of different digital MODES is taken into account. Short QSOs with minimal information exchange are welcome: RSQ, name, locator. It is allowed to conduct communications by prior arrangement (sked), as well as sending spots to clusters. We recommend using narrowband protocols. Digital competitions can be held simultaneously with «01-10», QSOs in which are also counted as days of activity.
For operational information, you can configure your programs to send spots to our server RDRC DIGI Spots HELP. During the activity, you will have the opportunity to watch the preliminary results online on the main page of RDRC Digi spots.
