each DXCC country. KH6 and KL7 count only as separate DXCC entities.

Logs:
All logs must be submitted in Cabrillo file format. The CONTEST tag in the Cabrillo header for this contest is TEN-RTTY. However,
submitted Cabrillo file logs may use ARRL-RTTY as the contest tag and the log submittal robot will change it to TEN-RTTY. This
means you should select ARRL RTTY Roundup in your contest program.  Optionally, you may use a text editor to change the CONTEST:
TEN-RTTY line or let the robot do it. The correct, and only, power category is LOW (CATEGORY-POWER: LOW). HIGH power entries will
be classified as CHECKLOGs. The Cabrillo file must meet the Cabrillo 2 or Cabrillo 3 ARRL RTTY Roundup template specification.
Sending of electronic logs:
Entries must be submitted by email to ten-rtty@kkn.net.
Deadline:
All entries must be emailed by 2359 UTC, December 14, 2015.
Awards:
Certificates will be awarded to the top Single Operator and Multioperator scorer in each multiplier area (State/District of
Columbia, Canadian Province/Territory and each DXCC entity) provided the entrant's log contains 100 or more valid QSOs and there
are at least 3 or more entries from that area.
Plaques sponsored by rttycontesting.com will be awarded to the top Single Operator and top Multioperator scorers overall. Plaque
sponsorship ($75) is available for any other category the donor chooses. If you are interested in sponsoring a plaque, contact
Don Hill, AA5AU or Ray Fallen, ND8L.
