The McGill Trophy Competition is an annual internal club competition whose aim is to stimulate operation on all amateur bands using all modes available to the UK amateur. It is open to all current WOSARS members.
The objective is to accumulate the most number of ARRL listed countries within a period of one-year commencing the 1st October of each year.
Operation can take place from any location within the UK, but only contacts using your own callsign which are entered into your log will be acceptable. Operation from the ClubÕs station GM/S4AGG must be identified on your log as this will count for a separate award explained later.
An on-going tally will be keep by the competition adjudicator, which will normally be updated on a Club meeting night. The updated information will be added to the Club's web-site where a duplicate table is kept.
From time-to-time a request will be made for entrants to provide evidence of contacts. This will normally be a request to bring along your logbook to a Friday night meeting for inspection.
In the case of Class B's Full & Intermediate (Novice B), operation is acceptable from any Class A's as long as the contact is logged in your own logbook as well as the hosts log.
Contest operation away from your own QTH is acceptable as long as the contacts which you have made, in the case of a multi-operator contest, is logged in your own log.
In order to stimulate activity from the Club's station GM/S4AGG a separate trophy will be awarded to the member who has had the most number of contacts from this station. This should be attractive to Class B's who do not have HF capability. Also to those members who do not have a station at present for on reason or other. Contacts should be made under the callsign GM/S4AGG and entered into the AGG log but the operator must list their own callsign alongside the entry. The log will be scrutinised from time-to-time to verify contacts.
Two trophies will be awarded at a suitable Club function (normally the Christmas Social in December). They consist of:
Top
Club Operator - Year XX
Top GM4AGG Operator - Year XX
McGill Trophy - Sept 2001 GM4COX
