M
= members of any digital mode club, multiband,
a single TX, any autorized power for this mode.
Competitors from this category will transmit as
follows:
For the RTTY
contests: RST +
serial number starting with
001 + particle /M (E.g.
RST 001/M ).
If you submit the control in the form
above must participate in category M
(Members),
and the Cabrillo log will specify the name of the digital mode
Club which also includes the
membership number
(not clubs of
other mode of working) and in the log will be entered e.g. CLUB: PDCC # 2.
- If you send the control in the form
of ex.569 001/M or 579 /M you must
participate in category M (Members).
- The members of the digi mode club are
not obliged to participate in the M category, but in
this case they will no longer send the abbreviation /M
and will follow the
rules imposed on the category they have chosen.
- If you are not a member of a
digital mode club but want to participate in category M,
before the start of the contest you must
to become a member of a club
with specific digital modes. If you do not resolve, send me
an email asking you to become a member of the PDCC.
PRO DIGI CONTEST CLUB
(PDCC) was founded with one purpose, to facilitate
your participation if you wish in the M category of
the PDC.
(See
examples of special clubs for digital modes)
- Please do the same if you sent the
control RST /M
but
at the head of the Cabrillo log you did not specify a
digi mode club and member number,
in order to be
included in the ranking of the MEMBERS category (M).
If you do not proceed in this way your logs
will be included
in the Check Log (CL) category.

contact is not valid, second (dupe) contact is accepted.
Dupe contacts are not penalized,
so DUPES should not be marked or
deleted.
