Each contest sponsor has slightly different rules concerning which scores
of individual CTDXCC club members will be eligible for inclusion in the
CTDXCC club score.
|
For ARRL radio contests, the
CTDXCC is classified as a Medium Club, and can choose to
use either any score made from a station in the South Texas (STX) section,
or choose to use scores from within a 175 mile radius of a designated
center, provided that all operators live within either the section or the
radius (as appropriate.) For the most part, the 175 mile radius centered
on 29.9° N, 97.5° W has been a better fit for the club. CTDXCC
members who wish to have their score count for the club competition score
must designate the club in their Cabrillo log as "Central Texas DX
and Contest Club".

For CQ
magazine sponsored contests, all stations that contribute to a
CTDXCC Club Competition score must lie within a circle
of 275 kilometers radius, centered on 29.9° N, 97.5° W, or be
operating on a DXpedition "specially organized for operation in the
contest." CTDXCC members who wish to have their score count for the
club competition score must designate their club in their Cabrillo log
as "Central Texas DX and Contest Club".

The National Contest
Journal sponsors several contests with Team
Competitions, which differ in many ways from the Club Competition
offered by ARRL and CQ. For NCJ sponsored contests, all
stations that contribute to a CTDXCC or "Austin Powers" team score must be
pre-registered with the NCJ before the contest. Only single
operator contest entries can contribute to team scores, and not every
member of the team must also be a member of the CTDXCC or operate from our
traditional area. Teams are usually organized on the CTDXCC club
email reflector.

The Texas QSO Party offers a
Texas Club Aggregate Award to the Texas club with the
highest total score from the sum of all summary sheets submitted across
all categories. The club name, "Central Texas DX and Contest Club," and
call sign must be identified on each of the individual Texas QSO Party
Summary Sheets to be included in the count.
