This portable operation microcontest will take place during an annual RU-QRP meeting.

Test time - two hours. 8 minitours with 15 minutes each. Duplicate QSOs are allowed in different minitours.

EXCHANGE:
Exchange numbers are: QSO number and the last correspondent's callsign suffix. For the first QSO use this number - 001/QRP. RST is not mandatory.

"Sprint" rules are observed, but not strictly. Station which others will call after the current QSO, becomes a frequency owner. This could be the same station who previously owns this frequency, or it could be another one. During each QSO it is needed to send both callsigns. For example:

CQ DE RW3AI K - RW3AI DE RU3FB K -
RU3FB DE RW3AI 001/QRP K - RW3AI DE RU3FB TU 003/LAM K

If after this example QSO someone will call RU3FB, then RW3AI must go out. On the other hand, if there were no calls for RU3FB, then RW3AI could stay on this frequency and continue to use it. "Sprint" rules are needed for that there were no stations working only on CQ, or only on search.

POINTS:
For the each QSO you will get 1 point.
For the each new correspondent during two successive minitours (15+15 minutes ) - you get 2 points.

For each transmited  QTC - 1 point.
