========================================================================

These Rules do not change the previous rules of this Contest published
early 1994, but are intended to remind all interested persons
world-wide that ANARTS Contest time is now fast approaching.

TEST PERIOD: Contest takes place on the second full week-end of June in
each year.  Contests start 0000 UTC Saturday and end 0000 UTC Monday.
The 1994 contest is to be held 11-12th June.

Not more than 30 hours of operating is permitted for Single Op. Stations
Non operating periods can be taken at any time during the contest.

Multi Op. Stations may operate the entire contest period.

Summary of operating times must be submitted with each contest log.

BANDS:  Use Amateur bands 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metres.

MODES:  All digital modes permitted (RTTY,AMTOR,FEC,PKT,PACTOR)
        NOTE:  No satellite operation permitted.

CLASSIFICATIONS:   (A) SINGLE OPERATOR (One transmitter)

                   (B) MULTI-OPERATOR  (One transmitter)

                   (C) SWLs

MESSAGES: To consist of RST, TIME (UTC), and (CQ) ZONE.

SCORING:  For each band used - As per Exchange Points Table to obtain
                               QSO Points.
                               Count Countries worked (see definition)

          Total all bands used to obtain (1) Total QSO Points.
                                         (2) Total Countries.

          World stations calculate "VK BONUS"  which is 100 points for
          each VK worked on 14MHz; 200 points for each VK worked on
          21MHz; 300 points for each VK worked on 28Mhz; 400 points for
          each VK worked on 7MHz and 500 points for each VK worked on
          3.5MHz.

          CLAIMED SCORE for WORLD STATIONS  is calculated by
          multiplying (1) TOTAL QSO POINTS by (2) TOTAL COUNTRIES then
          that total by (3) the NUMBER OF CONTINENTS WORKED during the
          contest.(Note that each continent counts once only to a
          maximum of 6). To the total obtained ADD the "VK BONUS" to
          show GRAND TOTAL CLAIMED SCORE.

          Example for World Station: 720 points from zone chart (1) X
          by 29 countries (2) X 5 continents (3) = 104,400 points, plus
          (+) 6 VK stations worked on 14MHz (that is 600 points) giving
          a grand total of 105,000 points.

          CLAIMED SCORE for AUSTRALIAN STATIONS (VK1-VK8) is calculated
          by multipying (1) TOTAL QSO POINTS by (2) TOTAL COUNTRIES and
          then that total by (3) the NUMBER OF CONTINENTS WORKED during
          the contest with a maximum of six as stated above.  This
          calculation gives the GRAND TOTAL CLAIMED SCORE.

          In all cases, a station may only be worked once per band, but
          may be worked on other bands for QSO points and multipliers.

COUNTRIES: The country count  is as per  ARRL DXCC  list of  countries,
          except that Australia (Areas 1-8), Canada, Japan, and U.S.A.
          mainland do not count as separate countries.   HOWEVER, each
          call area VK1-VK8, and each call area in Canada, Japan and
          mainland U.S.A. DO COUNT AS SEPARATE COUNTRIES.
          Contact with ones own country does count for QSO points but
          does NOT COUNT AS A MULTIPLIER. (NOTE that call areas VK1-8,
          and in Canada, Japan and USA mainland count as countries).

LOGS:      Logs must show in this order:
