[TVARC] RTTY contest this weekend

[Rich Erlichman]

This is a weird one. No multipliers like in most contests, but the points for each QSO is based on a point per kilometer between each station (based on the 4 digit maidenhead grid locations).

There is also a 1.5x band multiplier for 40meter contacts and a 2x multiplier for 80meters.

Here is a worked example between CM87 and EL49:
Distance (from formula): 3084.2234824787 Km, rounds down to 3084 points.
Score:
20/15/10:  3084
40: 4626
80: 6168

There is a special case or exception to the point per kilometer rule: If both stations are located in the same grid square, then both stations – regardless of the band – get 100 points for this QSO. Do NOT apply a band factor to the 100 point score!

 

Wow, I can see some hefty scoring. Should be fun.
