Challenge Rules:
-
GMCC members only are
eligible to participate. Members
track and post their points on the annual score pages on the GMCC
website. For those who have not yet earned their basic level Top
Gun award, they may carry forward their scores from January 1, 2009.
(scores must be posted on GMCC website).
-
All past or new
holders of the original Topgun Award start accumulating points on
January 1 2010. Everyone in this category start with 1 million
points and continue to accumulate
points towards the next highest award.
-
The challenge award is
for single operator's efforts at your home, mobile or portable station,
guest station or DXPedition. If you were an operator at a multi op
station you may use a portion of the scores for your fractional part of
the operation. i.e.: if three ops in the multi you may accumulate
one third of the final score. All scores submitted to the web page
are on the honor system.
-
The Board has taken
note of the fact that there are a couple of contests (a RTTY contest in
particular) where an extremely high number of points are given despite
low levels of QSO's. Therefore the Board reserves the right to exclude
certain contests from the point accumulation towards the Top Gun
Challenge Award. Any problems or issues involving the award
program will be resolved by the Board of Directors.
