Mecklenburg-Vorpommern-Contest

Now with much more attractive conditions of participation

In the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern contest, stations outside District V were previously District V were only allowed to work with stations from District V. This has considerably limited the number of possible QSOs for these OMs restricted.

With the new conditions, everyone is allowed to work everyone else, the contest is much more fun for everyone. Of course the focus is still on QSOs with stations from District V.

These QSOs count for 3 points and multipliers are still the DOKs from District V as well as the different DXCC countries DXCC countries (except DL).

Also the submission of logs has been simplified and is now - as for many other many other contests of the DARC and other disctricts - via the DARC Contest Hub. This way you get immediate feedback and see that your log has been received. In addition, the evaluation is and the results are available more quickly.

So, have fun at the next MVP Contest! You are all cordially invited to take part. We look forward to seeing you!
