Starts 00:00:00 UTC Saturday (Local: 7:00 PM Friday)    Ends 23:59:59 UTC
Sunday (Local: 6:59:59 PM Sunday)

I. OBJECTIVE: For amateurs around the world to contact as many other
amateurs in as many CQ zones and countries as possible.

II. BANDS: Six bands only: 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz. Observance of
established band plans is strongly encouraged.

III. CONTEST EXCHANGE: RST report plus CQ Zone number of the station
location (e.g., 599 05). 

IV. SCORING:

A. Score: The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied
by the sum of zone and country multipliers. Example: 1000 QSO points * (30
Zones + 70 Countries) = 100,000 (final score).

B. QSO Points: Stations may be contacted once on each band. QSO points are
based on the location of the station worked.

1. Contacts between stations on different continents count three (3) points.

2. Contacts between stations on the same continent but in different
countries count one (1) point. Exception: Contacts between stations in
different countries within the North American boundaries count two (2)
points.

3. Contacts between stations in the same country have zero (0) QSO point
value, but are permitted for zone or country multiplier credit.

C. Multiplier: There are two types of multipliers. 

1. Zone: A multiplier of one (1) for each different CQ Zone contacted on
each band. The CQ Worked All Zones rules are the standard.

2. Country: A multiplier of one (1) for each different country contacted on
each band. The DXCC entity list, Worked All Europe (WAE) multiplier list
plus IG9/IH9, and WAC boundaries are standards. Maritime mobile stations
count only for a zone multiplier. 

As always, if you need some help understanding the rules, setting up for the
