> 2002 C2C Rules:
>
> Mode: CW Only.
> Contest dates --- Starts Friday September 20th at 2000 UTC, ends Saturday,
> the 21st at 1600 UTC (1:00 PM Friday to 9:00 AM Saturday, PDT).
> Clubs will operate to their own schedules. They are not required to be on
> the air the entire 20 hours of the event.
>
> Bands: 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. We encourage Clubs to use the Novice
> segments also. No WARC bands. Clubs will call near regular FISTS
> frequencies.
>
> New this year! You receive one award certificate credit for each
> club worked
> and you receive one bonus point for each additional QSO with a club on a
> different band (only one point per club per band). See the C2C
> Award details
> below for how these points count!
>
> Only FISTS clubs will call. Clubs will call --- "CQ C2C"
>
> Exchange --- Clubs and operators exchange the following elements:
> FISTS Members and Clubs:RST, Name, State (or 2 character prefix
> if DX), and
> FISTS number. Clubs: Send only your club's FISTS number.
>
> U.S. Example: 579, Stan, VA, 2934
> DX Example: 599, Ralph, ZL, 1073
>
> Non-FISTS: RST, Name, State, and Power (be sure to suffix with 'W').
>
> U.S. Example: 459, Bill, OR, 50W
> DX Example: 569, Yuri, UA, 100W
>
> Club operators, please note this new rule: Club operators count
> any exchange
> with another club to your club and personal QSO count, including bonus
> multiple band points. For example, if you are operating your club call and
> are called by another club, both club operators count the QSO for
> both their
> club and their home calls without using their home calls in the QSO. This
> rule is intended to reward our club volunteer ops without the need for
> confusing "double-call QSOs" or separate QSOs while you are on duty.
>

> QSLs and Awards
>
> All participating Clubs will handle their own logging and QSLs. Applicants
> are NOT required to submit QSLs or logs to claim a C2C Certificate. Please
> QSL to Club contacted only (NOT to the contest organizers or FISTS HQ)!
>
> All contacts with Clubs will count toward regular FISTS awards
> (FISTS clubs
> are worth 3 points each), as applicable. In addition, special
> Coast-to-Coast
> certificates will be awarded to all participants who work the following
> number of clubs (NOTE: log submittal is NOT required):
>
> A minimum of 5 Clubs ---- Bronze Certificate
> For contact of 10 Clubs ---- Silver Certificate
> For contact of 15 Clubs ---- Gold Certificate
> For contact of 20 Clubs ---- Platinum Certificate
>
> New Award Opportunity: Receive a special total points endorsement on your
> certificate for working the C2C clubs on different bands! You receive one
> point for each club every time you work it, once per band.
>
> Example: you worked 9 clubs just once on any bands, but also
> worked K7FFF on
> 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. You achieved the Silver Certificate (for
> having worked 10 clubs total) plus 4 extra points for the additional K7FFF
> QSOs on the other 4 bands for a total point count of 10 + 4 = 14.
>
> Note that your certificate level is determined by the total
> number of clubs
> contacted, not the total points attained.
>
> The highest ten point scores will earn those entrants a PVP (potentially
> valuable prize, to be determined later) awarded by FISTS Northwest, K7FFF!
> Point totals will be reported in the Keynote for informational
> purposes only
> after the event
