2025 August PSK Expedition (APE)

GO APE THIS YEAR!!

To encourage PSK31 operations in the field and to research and gain practical experience in the portable capabilities of the PSK31 mode, the PODXS 070 Club offers to the members the August PSK31 Expedition (APE) Award. The APE Award is offered to any 070 Club member who during the month of August, organizes, sets up, and operates a portable PSK31 expedition which meets all Award requirements. Note that a successful APE expedition makes 20 contacts and earns a certificate of achievement. Working a shrewdness of APE’s earns an Attaboy. You may earn the sticker by working the same station on different bands and on different days for 5 credits or more.

To participate, submit your planned operations to the APE Manager This email address is being protected from spambots.

New Member Jamboree

Purpose:

To work as many stations as possible using PSK31 mode and celebrate the 070 club’s newest members.

Entry Categories:

QRP (max power 5 watts output)

Low Power (max power 25 watts output)

Medium Power (max power 50 watts output)

High Power (max power 100 watts output)

Date/Time:

First Saturday in April 0000 UTC- 2359 UTC

Exchange:

Members send 070 Club Number and year you joined the 070 club. (Exchange example: K9DWR de K5SP 483 2006 QSL? kn).

Non-members don't have a required exchange, so send anything. Just make the QSO! (Exchange example: K9DWR de KQ4XYZ not a member QSL? kn or even K9DWR de KQ4XYZ 599 QSL? kn ).

Recommended CQ: CQ 070 NMJ de K9DWR K

Bands:

80 thru 10 meters, no WARC bands. Work each station once/band.

All contacts must be 2-way PSK31.

No repeater, cross-mode or cross-band contacts allowed.

Power:

Use no more than the stated maximum for your entry category. Please keep your power output set to a reasonable level to avoid QRMing others. Use the MINIMUM power necessary to make the contact at all times!

Scoring:

Work each station once per band, dupes count zero (0) points.

QSO points - Each unique contact counts QSO points per table below.

- Non-member QSOs are worth 3 points

- QSOs with member numbers from 1-500 are worth 5 points

- QSOs with member numbers from 501-1000 are worth 6 points

- QSOs with member numbers from 1001-1500 are worth 7 points

- QSOs with member numbers from 1501-2000 are worth 8 points

- QSOs with member numbers from 2001-2500 are worth 9 points

- QSOs with member numbers from 2501-3000 are worth 10 points

- QSOs with member numbers greater than 3000 are worth 11 points

Multipliers - Multipliers are the number of unique member-join years worked, counted once (not per band). Since the 070 club has been in existence since mid-2000, and members have joined every year since, there are 26 possible multipliers in 2025, 27 in 2026, 28 in 2027, etc. That will be true in perpetuity, unless we have a year where no one joins during the first quarter of the year.

Final Score = (Total QSO Points) x (Total Different member-join years)

Entries:

Logfile format: ADIF (why adif?). Please submit logs via the NMJ Uploader. (will be activated when contest starts).

All entries must be received by One (1) week after the contest.

Entries with excessive dupes will be listed as check logs. All entries are subject to verification.

The 070 Club reserves the right to disqualify entries deemed not in accordance with the above rules or are contrary to the spirit of this event.
