Surplus Vintage Radio Test in Europe

  •   On the Air ÖVSV Dachverband

October Test or    "Surplus Vintage Radio Test in Europe"

 

The test is open to all OM  with the requirement that the QSO is valid only if the two corresponding stations are using ex-military radio set.

The possible operation modes are CW and PHONE (USB, LSB, AM, AME, FM).

A station can be reconnected only in a different day, on different band or with a different set.   Antennas and power supplies are free.

Each station has its own value, namely:

  • A: Vintage ( WW 2^ and before) =  5  points
  • B: Classic (Tubes post WW 2^ ) = 3 points
  • C: Veteran ( Mix Tubes / Semic.) = 2 points
  • D: Modern ( Full Semiconductors) = 1 point
  • M : Monitor (SWL)

The total score of the QSO is made by adding the value of the two stations in contact.

For example: QSO between a SCR-193 (A = Vintage) and GRC-9 (B = Classic) = 5 + 3 = 8

A QSO between stations of different country same continent are worth double (DXCC list)

A QSO between stations of different continent are worth triple (WAC list)
