Apply an additional multiplier of 1.5 if using a homebrew paddle (kits 
such as the NorCal / K8DD paddle qualify).

All entries are Multi-Band to promote maximum participation.
Certificates (if available) to the top 10 scorers, and to the top scorer 
in each SPC.
The certificate manager reserves the right to recognize special 
significant entries with a certificate award.

Entry includes a copy of the log and a separate summary sheet.
Include duplicate check sheets with entries of 100 QSOs or more. 
Indicate total time-on-the-air, and include a legible name, call, SOC 
Number (if any) and address. All entries must be received within 30 days 
of the contest date. Late entries will be counted as check logs. Members 
and non-members indicate their output power for each band. The highest 
power used will determine the power multiplier. Output power is 
considered as 1/2 of input power. Include a description of homebrew 
equipment (including paddle or key), commercial equipment, and antennas 
used with each entry.

Include an SASE with your entry for a copy of the results.
Results will be posted on QRP-L and on the SOC Website. The final 
decision on all maters concerning the contests rests with the contest 
manager.  Entries are welcome via E-Mail to n4bp@arrl.net , or by snail
