2006-2007 IRCA Lucky 7 DX CONTEST RULES

    The object of this year's IRCA contest will be to hear as many
stations as possible from your DX location. A station can be located in
the US, Canada, or Mexico.
    Each station will be worth one point, except if you are "Lucky"
enough to hear a station on a graveyard frequency it will be worth "7"
points. The contestant with the most total points at the end of the
contest will be determined the winner. Entry reports need to be in
frequency order (530 to 1710), and must include the call letter and
frequency, along with the location of the station, and date and time
heard.
    The contest will begin at 0001 on September 1, 2006 and end 2359 on
May 31, 2007.
    The contest will be open to all IRCA members in good standing.
Entrants will be disqualified if they cease to be members of the club.
You may join the contest at any time during the year.
    All loggings must be made within 25 miles of your main DX location.
Normally this is your home, for students this might be your college
dorm. If a person moves during the contest they may start over at the
new location.
    Stations must be in the normal 530-1710 kHz band, licensed by the
U.S., Canada or Mexico. TIS and utility stations are not eligible for
contest purposes. To count a U.S. station, you must hear the actual call
letters. To count a Canadian or Mexican station, you must hear the
actual call letters or hear a recognized slogan plus location. Loggings
may be first time heard, or relogs of stations heard before. If a
station changes call letters it may be relogged and be counted.
    Your contest report of stations heard in any particular month must be
postmarked by the 5th day of the following month. For example, a station
heard on October 12th must be submitted by November 5th to be eligible.
Failure to do this will disqualify the item in question for points.
Contest entries must not be sent along with WDXR DX tips as they easily
become lost when filed away in the WDXR file. Contest entries may be
sent e-mail or postal mail to the address above. E-mail entries must not
be "attached files."
    The contest manager will have the final word on all station and
interpretation of all rules, including disqualification of a station for
scoring or a member from the contest.
    Standings will be updated on the 15th of each month and results
published in the next available bulletin subject to normal deadline
delays. The final standings will be tabulated on June 15, 2007 and will
appear in the July bulletin, subject to space in that bulletin.
    The contest manager may join the contest, but will be ineligible for
the prize. There is no entry fee for the contest.
    Entry in the contest implies consent to all rules, including those
which may appear later as necessity dictates. If you have any questions
please write.
    Prize: $5.00 IRCA Bookstore Credit for the contest winner. Have fun!
