may                         be worked on more than one band
for                         QSO points and SPC credit.

Power Multiplier:       * 0 - 250 mW = X 15
                        * 250 mW - 1 Watt = X 10
                        * 1 W - 5 W = X 7
                        * Over 5 W = X 1

Note: The highest power used on any band will determine the
power multiplier.
Output power is considered as 1/2 of input power.
