This contest focuses on the WARC bands that are not used for contesting on real HF. But as HamSphere is a simulated environment we get to try these bands out in a 24 hour contest. Achieve country multipliers or long distance QSOs to enhance your score.

Rules
Same stations only valid once per band. NOTE: a frequency limit will be imposed on all bands (to allow non-contest stations room to operate during the contest).
All contest contacts MUST be above 35kHz from the bottom of each band (example: 7.035 and up, 14.235 and up, 21.335 and up). Any contest contact made below the 35kHz contest band edge will not count.
Contacts between 3500- 7000km will earn extra 1 point, contacts between 7000km-10000km will earn extra 2 points and contacts over 10000km will earn extra 3 points.
Please note! 5 minutes must have passed before you can contact the same op on a different band.
