Club Competition:
the competition among clubs, contest groups and other amateur associations, separately for Ukrainian and foreign clubs.
Foreign participants of the club competition can declare the result for their club
regardless of the country and the distance to the headquarters of the club.
It is important that the name of the club for all members of the same club was written equally (otherwise the contest committee different spelling of the name of the club will be treated as different clubs).
For Ukrainian participants, participation in regional clubs, associations (ie not in national ones, for example UCC) is implied.

Common rules:
There is no limitation for band change. Only one signal can be transmitted at any given time.
All entries separated by World and Ukraine. The use of DX-cluster is permitted for all categories . However self-spotting is strictly prohibited.
Duplicate contacts with same station on the band counts 0 points. No penalty for duplicate QSO. Please do not delete dupes.

Single Operator All Band 6 hour - entrants in this category must enter a log for the first 6 hours of their contest operation.
Periods for rest may not be less than 1 hour per period. If they wish to operate for a longer period the rest QSOs will be counted as a CHECKLOG.
All QSOs after 6 hours are processed as a separate CHECKLOG.
For example:
Start at 14.30 UTC, then at 16.30 UTC the beginning of the rest period, then at 19.00 start of the continuation of activity until 23.45.
So hereby your 6 hours log must consist of 14.30 – 16.30 and 19.00 – 22.59 UTC periods.
The rest part of the log from 23.00 until 23.45 UTC is processed as a separate CHECKLOG.

In the Single Band category you can make QSO on other bands.
Single Band entrants who operate other bands during the contest are encouraged to submit full log for more than one band to aid in the log cross-checking process.
They should send one Cabrillo file of full log and thoroughly indicate correct category in the head of the file.
