September 29, 1200 UTC to September 30, 1200 UTC (24 hours), all nine Azores islands (CU1-CU9) will be activated at once.

Those making a QSO with at least 5 different islands will have a corresponding number of tickets placed into a lottery for a free trip to the Azores (e.g. if you have QSOs with 7 islands, you will get 7 lottery tickets). Additionally, the first 25 operators making QSOs with all 9 islands will be eligible for a second lottery. The free trips are from the closest airport served by SATA, including flight, accommodation and transfers. During or immediately after the weekend, the logs will be posted on Club Log to display your band/mode slots. The lottery will be drawn on October 15, 2012.

All QSOs will be confirmed through the bureau network with special full-colour cards. Direct QSL requests via Jose Melo, CU2CE.
