BARG 2 Metre FM Scramble Rules 2026<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AIM: <\/b><\/span>For participants, BARG members and others, to contact as many other stations on the 2m FM band, Simplex over a 5-minute period and to encourage use of the BARG 2m Repeater VK3RBT.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested CQ call is <\/b><\/u><\/span>\u201cCQ SCRAMBLE\u201d. Stations will then exchange serial numbers, beginning at 001. Only serial numbers and callsigns need to be exchanged. Multiple contacts between the same stations are not eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frequency:<\/b><\/u><\/span> 146.425 \u2013 146.600 MHz, FM Simplex.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scoring is simple:<\/b><\/u><\/span> One point per contact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who can participate?<\/b><\/u><\/span> :<\/u><\/span> Open to all qualified amateurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Repeater usage:<\/b><\/u><\/span> VK3RBT to co-ordinate the beginning of the scramble and as the callback channel at the end of the contest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to basics:<\/b><\/u><\/span> This is an honour scoring system, no logs to be submitted, just your total score at the end of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Duration:<\/b><\/u><\/span> Each Sunday evening from 2000 AEDT to 2005 AEDT, 5 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n

The coordinator will count down to 2000 AEDT on VK3RBT, using Mobile Phone and or PC coordinated time. (So if you have problems getting to VK3RBT you can still participate.)<\/span><\/p>\n

After the 5 minute event, stations will call in on VK3RBT to give their scores, <\/span>PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT VK3RBT BEFORE THE START.<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Please note, if you have problems with VK3RBT, there will be a station listening on VK3RBA, but note this is a competition to encourage VK3RBT use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically, who ever wins, will, on the next scramble function as the coordinator and will not take part in that event.<\/span><\/p>\n
