America Contest - 2008
Participants
All the stations in the world (AT and non AT) are invited to participate. The participants will divide themselves in 3 (three) different categories:
Category - AT American stations
Category - non AT American stations
Category - stations outside America (AT and non AT)
Only "Single Operator" modality will be allowed.

Date and duration
Starting date: April, 19th at 15:00 GMT
Finishing date: April, 20th at 15:00 GMT
Total length: 24 hours
Objectives and Score
American stations' (A and B Categories) objective will be to contact the biggest quantity of participant stations; while the stations of the rest of the world (C Category) must contact the biggest quantity of American stations. The score of each participant will be calculated as it follows:
A Category
10 points for each American country
1 point for each valid contact
Note: The contacts between stations from same countries will be considered as valid.
B Category
10 points for each American country.
1 point for each valid contact.
1 point for each AT American station contacted.
Note: The contacts between stations from same countries will be considered as valid.
C Category
10 points for each American country
1 point for each valid contact
1 point for each AT American station contacted.
Note: In this category only the contacts made with American stations will be considered as valid.
Tie break: It can be held between two or more participant stations. The winner station will be the one that managed to get all the contacts (and so the score) in the shorter period of time (first to last contact).
Log and Progressives
As in the AT World Contest, we suggest the participants to use the official AT LOG SHEET to mark the contacts. It is NOT necessary to change QSL cards during the contest (only the Log guarantees each contacted station). Only contacts made with participants appearing in at least 20% of the Logs received by committee will be considered as valid.
