1 point for each contact multiplied by the divisions worked is: 50 progressives x 10 divisions = 500 points.

The only acceptation will be: when working an SES, DX, IOTA or Zero.
The contact (in the log) will be accepted providing the contest manager can obtain a copy of the log book of the activation to confirm the contact and WILL be accept without a progressive number received or given.

or request it from the contest manager via email. (Only send the sheets int he log book you use, do not send empty pages) (Do not colour in any of the log book pages, please black and white only).
Calling Frequencies : 27.595 then QSY to any frequency for the QSO providing it is within your countries local laws and regulations. You can use 27.555 if your radio will not transmit on 27.595, I ask all where possible to use 27.595 to avoid making to much QRM on 555 for those who do not participate within the contest
to give them a chance to make some DX.
27.275 : I recommend to use frequency 27.275 in the contest who has problems with radio police and has no opportunity to work higher than 27.405.
Trophies The first top 3 finalist SD Members Single and Multi operators will receive a trophy each.
The first place single operator NON SD Member will receive a trophy. The first placed Multi Operator NON SD Member will receive a trophy.
