Bands and Modes: 160M, 80M, 40M, 20M, 15M, 10M. Any mode (CW, SSB, AM, PSK, etc.); all count the same. Only one contact per station per mode per band. Standard QRP frequencies are recommended within each band (or generally accepted frequencies for those modes for which there are no specific QRP frequencies). But, please, let’s spread out a little — not everyone within a kilohertz of 14.060.
———————————————————————-
Scoring: Power/Location Multiplier:
1 point per contact if you are QRO (above 5 watts) and operating from a permanent location.
2 points per contact if you are QRO and operating from a field or mobile location.
5 points per contact if you are QRP (5 watts or less) and operating from a permanent location.
10 points per contact if you are QRP and operating from a field or mobile location.
All contacts must be made from a single power/location category (i.e., the category is to remain the same once selected). Final score will be the total number of contacts multiplied by the power/location category multiplied by the SPC multiplier (see below).
———————————————————————-
Multipliers: Each S/P/C worked counts for one multiplier point and can be counted only ONCE PER BAND.
