Which RaDAR-Contest Category

So you want to participate in the upcoming RaDAR-Contest, but are pondering on which category to choose...
Keep in mind: "daring to be different", during the RaDAR-Contest you may switch categories on the fly! How so? What you do prior to your 1st QSO (out of each 5) is what defines your category.

Here is an example:
You begin the RaDAR-Contest by setting up in your garden (not traveling 1km by foot or 3km by vehicle to your QTH): /P multiplier for those contacts.
After 5 QSOs, you then go 3km or more by bike/vehicle: /M multiplier for the next 5 QSOs.
After those 5 QSOs you then walk 1km or more: /PM multiplier for the next 5 QSOs...

Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio - RaDAR-America

Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio, often referred to by its acronym RaDAR, is a concept for operating an amateur radio station anywhere, anytime and even in adverse environmental conditions. This concept supports the amateur radio service’s emergency communications mandate.



For more information on the idea, please follow the link to website of the founder of the idea: Eddie ZS6BNE: http://zs6bne.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/rapid-deployment-amateur-radio/

This concept is hereby ported by KD0JKM to the Americas. Details on the Amateur Radio Contest will be posted momentarily.
