Scoring:

3 points for first contact with a station.
2 points for second contact with the same station.
1 point for third contact with the same station.

100 points, one time only, for working club station WØCQC. The second contact with WØCQC, after half an hour,

All multipliers count once. Multipliers are SPC’s and CQC members worked.

Final Score:

QSO Points x SPC x CQC Members = Total Score.

Logs:
Submit logs showing time, callsign worked, exchange, and QSO points for each station worked, show totals of multiplier points.
