DATES AND TIMES:

All dates and times are in UTC! Maximum operating time during each
day is 4 hours.

1st Day Friday July 14th, 2000 23:00Z to Saturday July 15th, 2000 06:00Z.
2nd Day Saturday July 15th, 2000 23:00Z to Sunday July 16th, 2000 06:00Z.

Participants may only operate 4 hours of the 7 hour window per day
and may submit a log for only 2 days of the 3 day contest.

EXCHANGE: Exchange RST, SPC, First Name, PWR.
Suggest using W as decimal point when reporting power. I.e., 1W5 =
1.5W, W5 = 500mW, W25 = 250mW, W02 = 20mW.

SCORING: QSO points are awarded to contestants according to their power
output. Power may be changed from QSO to QSO and must be noted in the
log.

1001mW and over 1 Point
501mW to 1000mW 2 Points
251mW to 500mW 4 Points
101mW to 250mW 8 Points
51mW to 100mW 16 Points
26mW to 50mW 32 Points
11mW to 25mW 64 Points
1mW to 10mW 128 Points
<1mW 500 Points

NOTE: No schedules or prearranged contacts between stations are
permitted.

BONUS MULTIPLIER: Number of identical first letters of first names
worked. I.e., worked Jim, John, Jennie, Joe, Jack, = 5 multiplier.
Note: one name only counts once - if you work 10 Jacks, that's still
just one multiplier.

CLUB BONUS: Anyone who works a club station which is running the
specified power levels listed below collects bonus points as follows:
(Clubs will not raise or lower power to accommodate a single QSO.)

900mW 1,000 points
500mW 2,000 points
250mW 3,000 points
100mW 4,000 points
50mW 5,000 points

Calculate score for each days activity:

(QSO Points) X (Total SPC Multipliers all bands) X (Bonus Multiplier) +
(Club Bonus total) = Daily Score.
Add the two best daily scores to find Total Score.
