SUMMARY:HamSat-SA ZS QO-100 QSO Party
DESCRIPTION:Sponsor: HamSat-SA\nModes: SSB\nBands: 3cm\nBand note: Through 
 the QO-100 geostationary satellite: SSB on 10 489.870 to 10 489.990 MHz\, 
 which is the 3 cm band.\nDuration: 2h\nExchange: RS and grid locator.\nNot
 e: THE CATALOG'S FIRST SATELLITE CONTEST. Every contact is through QO-100\
 , the geostationary amateur transponder\, so the band recorded is 3 cm -- 
 the 10 489 MHz downlink -- and a band filter will find it there. That is t
 he honest token for the frequency in use\, but it is worth knowing that th
 is contest is nothing like the other 3 cm entries in the catalog: no terre
 strial path is involved\, and the equipment is a dish rather than a microw
 ave rig. SOURCED FROM THE SARL CONTEST MANUAL\, WHICH IS NOT AN AGGREGATOR
 . The manual carries this contest's FULL rules -- aim\, dates\, exchange\,
  frequencies\, scoring\, log sheets -- and names its organising club\, rat
 her than summarising a calendar entry. It is the venue in which South Afri
 can clubs publish their contest rules\, the way DARC's Ausschreibungen or 
 UBA's rules pages are\, so it is a primary source for these contests and n
 ot a third-party listing. The distinction that matters: an aggregator repu
 blishes rules it found elsewhere\, and this is where the rules appear.\nRu
