        *The start of 8-hour entry is the first QSO time.
         The breaks minimum is 1 hour each.
         The contacts made after of 8-hour limit are counted for other
participants.

        LOW - Max peak power 100 watts
        HIGH - Max peak power 1000 watts

6. Exchange:

        Signal report + four-digit Grid Square (Example: 599 KO50).

7. QSO points:

        1 point per 1 Km of distance (calculated by centers of Grid
Squares).
        No need to calculate by participant.

8. Multiplier:

        The number of Grid Squares (once per log).

9. Scoring:

        The sum of QSO points multiplied by multiplier = TOTAL SCORE.

10. Disqualification:

        For usage of PSK31 band (14070...14071).
        For transmission over NCDXF beacons on 14100, 21150 and 28200.
        For two signals on one or many bands simultaneously.
