- A callsign can be used only one time.
- In order to promote the activity on the Net, it was planned for Chapter Borinage that each participation brings 10 points, this is not always the case for the others Chapters.
- In order to promote "SWL" activity, this rule is also valid for the "not licensed HAM on decametrics bands".
- The rules to get the certificate "Chapter Borinage" stipulate that one needs 30 points to obtain the "BASIC" award and that, per package of 50 points, one obtains an "UPGRADE" (there are 11 of them: 10 provinces plus the VIP).
- If the 550 points are reached, one becomes VIP and IQ.
- "VIP" : station which has all the "UPGRADES".
- "IQ" (Instant qualifier) : the simple fact of contacting an IQ makes it possible to obtain the "Basic certificate" without the requirement to have a number of precise points, a kind of jocker.
Now you have got the Basic certificate and the 3 Upgrades but then, if anybody contacts you, you can give points to him !
How much? …. Well, according to the following rules :
- Basic 10 points.
- UPGRADES + 3 points.
Therefore, you give in your turn "13 additional points".
This is not more complicated than that... I hope to have all made well understood...
Note this process is in force in all Chapters.
Last remark, the "CHAPTER HEAD" can give additional points to one or the other station whenever appropriate.
Voici un rappel des principes généraux utilisés par la plupart des Chapters mondiaux :
- Les certificats sont référencés par un chiffre et une lettre.
- Le chiffre est attribué dans l'ordre des réception de demande.
- La lettre peut être un C pour indiquer que le possesseur est membre du Chapter.
- La lettre peut être un L pour une station locale (1000 Kms).
- La lettre peut être un DX pour les autres stations.
Bonne chasse à tous.
