2018 SV-QRP International Low Power Marathon




2018 SV-QRP International Low Power Marathon
The purpose of this Marathon is to increase the QRP activity. Using the WW
(Maidenhead) Locators and the power level of the two communicating stations, the
longest "contact distance" using QRP power can be determined. (See the
calculation formula below).
The 3rd International SV-QRP Marathon run from October 19th (00.00 UTC)
till November 30th (23.59 UTC) 2018.
That is 42 days, as the Classic Athens Marathon Run course has the length of 42
kilometers.
This Ham activity is not a contest. You can think of it as a statistical “game”
dealing with low power levels and a long continuous presence on the HF bands of
Ham stations using QRP practices.
The process and study of the received log entries and QSOs can assist to the
extraction of useful information about the propagation using low power, at this
time of the Solar cycle…
