Rules
Make an effort to establish connections with as many stations and countries as possible. Remember to limit your contact with each station to only once per band. Please keep in mind that there will be a frequency limit in place on all bands to ensure that non-contest stations have space to operate during the competition.
We kindly request that all contest contacts are made at frequencies above 35kHz from the bottom of each band. For example, please consider making contacts at frequencies starting from 7.035 and higher, 14.235 and higher, and 21.335 and higher. It is important to note that any contest contact made below the 35kHz band edge will not be counted.
To add some excitement, extra points will be awarded for contacts made within specific distance ranges. Contacts between 3500-7000km will earn an additional1 points, between 7000-10000km an additional 2 points, and distances exceeding 10000km will earn an extra 3 points.
Let us make this a fair and enjoyable competition for everyone involved!
